Another Step Closer

I just received word from our account representative that we will have this project wrapped up in time for July's ICRS (formerly CBA) Convention in Orlando. XulonPress will take copies of our book to be on display at this year's convention. Yahoo!

The book is going to press as of today. It will take about 2-3 weeks before a hard copy is sent for final authorization. As soon as we give our approval, they will print our free copies and we can place the bulk order for the contributing authors.

The book will appear on the XulonPress online bookstore, then within 4-8 weeks, it will be available thru Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com (the publisher has no control over when they pick it up – it's done solely at their pace).

They are working hard to get this wrapped up so everything is done and press releases have gone out before the Convention in July.

We're In Production!

We're so excited! Just today, our publishers released the cover of our book for final review. We've given our approval and wanted to share the final copy with you. We are in production and things are finally moving along at a steady pace. Within the next week or two, we will have the opportunity to do the final approval of the text, review the back cover graphics and text. Each step we take moves us closer to finalization of this project.

Each author will receive one free copy of Women of Passions as well as have the opportunity to purchase up to five copies at cost (the price has not yet been determined). We will need to place the order for your copies all at once, so please watch for the communication and the deadline for placing your order.

The publisher is also putting together press releases for us. We will make these available to each author so she can promote the book in her local bookstores and newspaper if she wishes. More on that later as well.

Thank you again for your participation in this project. We're excited to see what God will do through your ministry to women through this book.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Love,
Jan
