So I set a record this week! Wanna guess how many words I managed?

Absolutely none!

Let’s just say I’m not the role model writer for those of you trying to make it a habit of writing every day. But at least I keep it real. I’ve been busy between work and raising a kid. I also just got another editing project, so next week may not be much better, but I will make it a point to try and get a few words on the page.

I started the final stage, Proofreading, for a book I have been working on for the last few months. The author is a friend of mine, and along with editing and design services (the latter of which I don’t offer to everyone), I’ve been helping her along the self-publishing journey. I’ve learned as much as I have taught in this process because her book comes with a deck of cards. That isn’t something KDP offers, so we spent a good month trying to find a company that could offer what she was looking for.

We came across Vervante, a company that can help bring the project of your dreams to life! They do journals, planners, books, cards, and so much more with so many options that I can’t list them here. They even list your product on Amazon (among many other amazing things), which is one service we were looking for. Neither of us is sponsored, but I had to share them with you all. I personally have a few ideas for things I want to create that only they can offer, so I know more people out there may benefit from them. Check them out if you want. They are a little pricier than other places, but you can also do more with them. Don’t forget to let them know Emma Lee Joy or Stacey Richardson sent you if you work with them! Maybe we can get one of those sponsorship things going on!

If you want to check out the book I’ve been working on, click here to learn more. I did the cover and card design, editing, and formatting, and now I’m working on proofreading. I’m super excited to see this book baby released. I’ve been dubbed its godmother, so yay!

Many blessings,
