I'd like you to come with me on my first journey towards self publishing.
lets work together and see where it goes. My first book 'Up the'Emirates' is with the printers now!!
this self publishing process is fraught with fences to climb and hoops to slide through not to mention building a website. We all have different skills and abilities making 'one size fits all' as most of these easy sites seem to offer, a steep learning curve - speaking from first hand and struggling at this very moment with this Wix package that doesn't always conform to the normal word processing/picture orientation/wrap around operations, I've been used to.
Having said that, it's better than two others that have almost succeeded in a quick trip to Beachy Head- and that's pretty positive . Forgive me if that is meaningless to any visitors, good for you!

Libre Baskerville - rather exciting don't you think? This is an interlude after experimentation with 'backgrounds, some favourite images and designing a logo for this new publishing Company that proved difficult to upload from an email. Quite frankly I set up a simple website some years ago that was infinitely easier to handle than any I've tried in the past two months; this may be the best of the bunch. It may be that the majority of occupations are easily accommodated by the standard templates on offer, or that can be used as outline skeletons of 'pick and replace'.

In fact Wix has many advantages, in particular the automatic saving and easy reference back to a previous attempt; or a completely fresh start!

This has taken an awful amount of trial and error to produce: it doesn't look quite as I'd like it but I've left it in position to, perhaps, provide a clue to the difficult (to me anyway) manoeuvring patience demanding work that may be required unless you have worked on Dreamweaver or similar website packages. Unfortunately Wix don't provide some sort of manual - the 'help' tags are the usual predetermined questions that just don't fit the actual process needed and when the message is put into the box stating your actual need a circular process of 'machine/algorithm' starts merely providing more frustration. Of course, I suppose one could try their professional offer that I imagine may lead to an 'arm and a leg' process. If you'd like to email me or call on my mobile I can perhaps give you the benefit of a little help either with the website or with self publishing, proof reading, or using Trelcurtpublishing ; in any event, as I said at the beginning, I'm all for working together if possible.
