This blog tracks my efforts to market my first novel Welcome to Heaven.


It starts at Week 1 just as the final corrections are being made to the PDF manuscript.

Week 3

I had originally briefed YPS on my requirements for the cover design.They supplied the following designs for my comments:


 







 As originally requested the biohazard symbol runs through all the designs but bearing in mind the book is about a young boy I liked the silhouette, so the final choice ended up between the last two. The decision was not easy but eventually I decided on the last one. It seemed to be a more powerful image, effectively summing up the mood of the book. Consequently it has been agreed as the final design.
There were still a few more corrections this week - hopefully that's it! Book blurb and back cover have been agreed so we are pretty much ready to go. Once the web site is ready I can really start to market the book. I am still aiming for 30th November 2010 as the official launch date.
