Please pay attention to the emails because they're quite important going forward um, it'll whatever you get will be important Sorry, I know we're going to be interviewed in a few minutes. I'm just going to get through all this material It's actually a lot You will get marketing material then too. You'll get a newsletter copy. You will get a tweet copy. You will get a facebook slash linkedin copy And it's really written very particularly to do a bestseller launch Uh, yeah, okay. Oh, we were um people brought up. They wanted a facebook group I created it last night. Most of you already joined Some of you have not yet accepted the invitation go there. It's called anthology authors wizard And people said they really wanted to do an after the book webinar And that's absolutely something we can do together and I want to talk a little bit about the book proofs and the edits So there was a one person in particular who really brought this up So I just want to dress it in case there's any questions out there And make this clear for anybody who has this question So as part of the package you will see on the landing page and everything I've shared and the emails It's been out there. Yes, everything is edited Here's why I want to be clear On purpose these chapters are in your voice If you think about chicken soup for the soul, right? I'm sure you guys have read at least one of those You don't pick up chicken soup for the soul on any particular subject and go well That's homogenized like kind of the same thing turn turn chapter chapter. No, they're very distinct Experiences voices stories. That's an anthology So all of your voices your beautiful unique voices and stories have been retained The chapter stays in your voice What I want to say and may have been confusing Is when you receive back your chapter You didn't get it all redlined. In other words, it was all in black as though you had turned it in written But the truth is if you actually read through it There were changes typos were corrected punctuation We wrote back many of you know because you got questions about what is this or and you made some changes So it was taken care of proofing typos editing 100 percent The one thing we don't do is developmental And I don't know if some of you thought it was going to be developmental, but let me tell you that's like Probably a 5000 to 15 000 start package so that was never promised and Some were more edited than others because some were more poorly constructed than others The voice your voice is so important for the anthology. So Have that expectation your words your story are going to remain in your unique voice Also, your unique voice is going to be in today's podcast interview with all the authors And you'll see that when that's transcribed and goes into published magazine Definitely shows up in the magazine just like that from the interview today. It's actually wonderful to read like that I can I you know Okay, I was going to use somebody in our book as an example who has a real distinct point of view and it works with but You guys get the idea So, yes the sentences sentences have been Reconstructed where needed typos were corrected but not total rewrites And so for those who have not yet written a full book, please understand that's a whole different editing You'll need to know this when you get to that in your own book. There are different forms of editing and types of editors Someone who rearranges everything you've written Is called a developmental editor. So that's that I'm going to send you a url link and you're welcome to Read more about editing because you will need it when you do a book and you need to decide which type you want to pay for so okay I'm going to also send you a url because there's now a way for you to see Sorry i'm reading my notes and there's a lot of them There may be a way for you to see the book and the cover online There is a way there is not maybe there is a way for you to see the book and the cover online Before it goes to amazon to finalize you're going to love this website and this is just for us So look at it. Enjoy it. Read it. You're wonderful I'm excited that all of your unique personalities are shining through I'm excited. You're all so different. We're living in the age of definitely different, right? We're living in the age where if you ain't different like Who are you middle america? So I want you to be who you are completely own that Own your chapter. I'm so proud of you guys. Come on now, right? When we get to the part of purchasing a book, I'm sure you might be interested at least in purchasing one for yourself So I talked about this last night. I'm going to go quickly through it But there's been a million gazillion changes on amazon Create space has now been folded into kdp kindle direct publishing. It's definitely created interesting new paradigm impact And part of what that is in the folding is that we can't offer you a wholesale book, right? Don't get me started. So create space used to have it And normally we would send out a discount code. You'd use it and get it set But ta-da doesn't exist anymore. Thank you amazon create space So here's what we're going to do to kind of triage that and still make it work for you I'm going to mark down the print cover only for 30 days so From december 11th to january 11th mark your calendars You can purchase the book for yourself or to give us gifts holidays Birthdays new year's anything or just I love you. Here you go. We're going to be interviewed. Here you go Buy as many copies as you want at the wholesale price and know that on january 11th It goes back to regular price We have to do this because your book is not worth What i'm going to set it at right our book needs to be Representing the value it gives so just know it's going to go back up and it's okay. You will all be okay We'll just deal with create space and what they're creating but that's my go-around So yes buy as many as you want have them sent you one one dozen and you'll get it a great price So, okay, that's that and that they're them Yes, i'm going to send you this url that has the Has our it's us.
