Writing a book is not simple. There is a lot, and I mean a lot that goes on behind the scenes. Once you have the manuscript complete, and after a lot of editing, there are still a few more things to check off the list.
A book cover. They say a picture is worth 1000 words and a good, eye catching cover can go a long way. Next is the formatting. That one is a hair puller in my opinion, but when it comes time to upload your book to different sites, you need your manuscript to upload clean and tidy. Every website has a different formula, so a good formatter is worth their weight in gold.
Why do I bring this up? Well, I have finally completed my fourth book “Forget Me Not.” I will post more about that in a separate post. As you may or may not have noticed, my name has slightly changed from “Kat Rose” to “Katt Rose.” What does this mean? A LOT more work. All of my previous book covers have had to undergo changes to match the new name, as well as tweaks on the various sites I have live now.
That brings me to another vital point. Your pen name. Make sure there is no one else out there with the same name as you-otherwise it can create a mess when you upload your books to sell. There was another author out there who had the same pen name as me and we wrote umm let’s just say very, very different genres. I didn’t necessarily want to be linked to her, so with a slight tweak of the name it has allowed me to separate from her. Or him. Who knows really.
Long story short, big, exciting changes are coming. The journey has been long but I’m so excited to share it with you all very soon.
