Final Stages before Self-Publishing

Finishing my manuscript was one achievement but now I'm in the process of rewriting and editing. I've been in contact with Createspace who I've chosen to self-publish through, and my cover design is in the works. Are there any final tips and suggestions out there before I take the plunge? As this will be my debut novel, I appreciate any and all feedback!

Cheers!!

All I can say Andrea is, tell those that will see your finish product when you open the package to put on their sun glasses, because they are going to need it when your smile light up the place. ($mile)

I was sooooooooooo excited when I seen my first book. "Love Stories the Relationships of Four Women" by Cordelia Alexander, on Amazon.com, if you want to take a look. ($mile) I said "I did it! This is my book!" I did the same when my second book was sent to me "Love Stories 2 Kiss and Tell" by Cordelia Alexander. I'm getting both set up to sell as a package. I haven't put the 2nd book on Amazon yet, but it should be there by the end of this year. I am still so excited! ($mile) Enjoy every second of it!

PS: I found a few errors in both books so I'm doing a little editing before I put them back out. Let somebody read over your book.

Just be very picky. You'll get the opportunity to view the book as it will appear on a Kindle. Take your time and look over every page. Make sure everything is exactly as you want it. Good luck.
