I produced and published Anna's Kitchen back in 2005. I was such a little smart-alec at the time that I thought I knew everything. Okay, maybe being a free-lance graphic designer helped, since I was able to produce something that looked really cool, but I didn't know squat about editing, distribution, or marketing. So, here are some of the lessons I learned.
- A spell checker is not a substitute for an editor, or a proofreader.
- If you want your book to be distributed, you really need Ingram.
- 500 books really does take up a lot of room in your shed.
Ah, I was so naive at the time, but looking back, it was still a good experience. I learned a heck of a lot, and I have no regrets.
In the meantime, many of the recipes from Anna's Kitchen, are available on My Timeless Cuisine.
Bon appitite,
GM
