Morning members----you don't have to be a expert, just a turkey hunting fanatic to write a book. Hope my tips help.
1 Self publish to keep costs down. Any mistakes are on you.
2Combine your journal (WITH) pictures that go with your notes. More memories will flood back!
3 Stay with a short story format and add (some) pictures or drawings.
4 JUST WRITE AS YOU TALK.
5 keep your book at between 80-100 pages.
6Also cover FALL turkey hunting.
7 Find someone at your local Library who can put your manuscript in the proper format on a disc. Pay them a small fee for this.
8 Take that disc to your publisher and have a talk with that person. I went to a (small house) that printed alot of childrens books.
9 Have your publisher print between 220-250 copies to start. He told me this! AND GET THAT DISC BACK!! You may want to have more printed at a later date or perhaps a loved one will after you pass.
10 Contact MIDWESTTURKEYCALL SUPPLY and start selling your books. Set a fair price. I believe I set mine a bucks too low.
11 Sign and date at least 5 or more and put them in your safe or a ammo can and save them for family members who may want to sell them at a much later date. I only put away 4 copies of one book that sold out.
GOOD LUCK---Quavers.
