About Sonya

I edit fiction and nonfiction titles, and am also a book designer and publishing consultant.

I was a co-founder of Ghost Road Press, where I won the Colorado Book Award for best anthology, as well as worked on many award-winning books before leaving the press in 2008.

I am now a Senior Editor at Samizdat Creative's Conundrum Press and an editor/designer at Seven Oaks Publishing.

Family, friends, and books have been my lifelong companions.

Self-pub chronicles

I made zero progress on the book this week, but I did learn (and was able to write) a lot about the current state of producing epubs. I have links galore, and all kinds of info about formatting, where to find specs for tablets and readers and phones; how much the aggregator services cost, and more. So it wasn't a week squandered.

My quandry is that the book I want to make is a how-to about design, and that kind of info won't transfer well to a small screen. It would be fine on the ipad, but not a mobile phone. So do I not worry about that, perhaps provide the visuals on the web for free for anyone who buys the ebook but wants to see the examples in a better format?

Hmm.
