BookBaby rocks!
From day one of my vision to honor my darling mom in a book, I had a special inkling about BookBaby. I researched multiple self publishing companies, and BookBaby stood out amongst them all. It has been a challenge filled with anxiety, but it was a labor of love. Despite my expertise in podcasting, broadcast news, library science and media, I was completely uninformed about the bookmaking world. The overwhelming process included poring over photo albums going back in time to the 40s, 50s, and 60s; researching dates, places and names; making layout, templates, graphics, book size and paper type decisions; and learning to climb the self-publishing mountain . It was daunting but I was determined. Thank goodness for the staff at BookBaby. Every department pitches in if you have questions - and everyone tries to answer you in a timely fashion. Thank goodness for Sierra Edwards. I cannot rave enough about the clarity, patience, and expertise of Sierra Edwards. She not only explained every detail and issue that I initiated along the way, but she always went the extra mile to respond to questions and concerns. She is amazingly calm amidst deadline pressure and a fast paced industry. She deserves a gold medal…and a trip to Tahiti! I am happy to answer any further questions about the amazing focus and attention she pays to a very detailed author like myself. This has been a very personal and passionate book project, and I could not be happier with the result. “Life Lessons from my mom -the Jewish Dalai Lama” is now a stunning tribute to my mother in an elegant, timeless book. Bravo to Sierra Edwards, Onpress Book Printing and BookBaby!
