Reading time: 27.5 seconds

I missed my email yesterday—thanks to everyone who asked for “proof of life.” It’s heart-warming to know I’m missed.

I’ve said for years (all of the years) that “Even if someone doesn’t read a book, they’ll never throw it away.” Well, I was wrong.

Not too long ago, I was given a book and even though the cover left much to be desired, I was truly interested in reading it.

However, when I opened it, I found it unreadable. The font was too large and one of the more challenging to look at. Then came the typos and missing words. By page 7, I realized a few things:

• I couldn’t read it. Even thought I wanted to.
• I couldn’t pass it on.
• I couldn’t even donate it. 😔

One more—a book can be so poorly published, people will pass even if they would otherwise read, love, review, and share about it.

I did the unthinkable—I apologized to the book gods and put the book in the trash.

How can you avoid this with your book?

You can take Publishing PhD (my comprehensive course walks you through the process—get it here and use code subscriber to save 30%: https://honoreecorder.com/publishing-ph-d/) and …

Go to your bookshelf and find a traditionally published book publisher. Take notice of the design, font, big and small details. Model your book’s cover and interior after what the big kids in NYC do. There are reasons for every choice made in the book creation process. I’ll see you tomorrow!
