Fantasy Opus - Formatting & Yet More Editing

 Hi there,

I've finally finished writing my second novel and I'm getting into the formatting and final edits. I'm writing in the garden once more although it's a very blustery day in blighty.

My aim is to format the novel into two parts, each will be around 700 pages long and my preferred form factor is 5" X 8" which is the same size as my old dog-eared copy of Lord of the Rings. Just a tad bigger than a standard mass market paperback.


The next stages will be:

  • Final edit using the Grammarly tool
  • Proofreading (My wonderful wife Lisa has volunteered)
  • Digitizing the story map using WonderDraft
  • Final formatting
  • Engaging a Cover artist (I'm hoping to use Damonza)
  • Formatting the ebook
  • Publishing to Amazon in both print and ebook.
That's all for now,

Cheers,

John Howes
