Journal Entry #37-Waiting for Publication Results

In around 48 hours from now, I’m hoping to hear the results of having the manuscript for my collection of short stories and poems reviewed by Amazon. Hopefully, everything will look good, and it will get published without any issues in a paperback edition (the open-field poetry nature of many of my poems made formatting a nightmare for the E-book edition, so I’m holding off on that for now).

I would have very lost, however, without my friend Andrea Benko’s help. I’m grateful to her for showing me the way to do things so clearly. She has navigated the self-publication process for Amazon before when working her Creative Gems anthology series, the second of which is getting ready to be released. Here is a link to information about the first one: https://edoodless.wordpress.com/2022/06/27/creative-gems-volume-1-is-out-now/.

In addition, I want to thank everyone for your encouragement!!!!
