A Publisher's Reflection


It's October 11th where has the time gone? I began this adventure in May and I cannot believe the journey this publishing company has taken me on. This post is a publisher's reflection:



I published “Through the Blinds” promoted it, conducted a reading, designed the cover etc. I managed to release my book to many places, including e-book style, while still maintaining rights and a lower price than my previous publishing companies.



I've been working tirelessly on “The Poet's Word (poems about writing).” I received submissions from all over the United States and world. So many poets were interested in such a clever publication.



I hired a couple interns who helped with the process. My goal was to introduce them to the realities and hard work of publishing while still maintaining dignity.



I utilized a talented artist to help create covers and our logo. I created a Cafe Press store with Steady Moon Press Merchandise. I created a professional website, blog, facebook page, LinkedIn group, Twitter account, Pinterest and more.



Still, the best experiences that has happened from this company is the relationships I have developed with authors, writers, publishers, readers, and people, who just flat out, are interested in poetry. It's been an amazing run thus far.



Steady Moon Press provides a voice to authors. We are working hard on our upcoming anthology “The Poet's Word” that provides readers a glimpse into the roller coaster world of writing. This company has fulfilled me in so many ways. I cannot wait until this publication is finished and is in YOUR hands. We are trying to make this happen soon!



Thanks to everyone who has supported me and my love of words.
