I have a deadline coming up next week. It’s for the third book in An Organized Crime Cozy Mystery Series, Killer Secrets.
One thing I have struggled with in the past is timelines. So, I check and double-check to make sure the timing is right.
I have an editor at Level Best Books who goes through my story for developmental edits and redline edits. Still, when I turn it in, I want it to be as polished as possible.
Getting a book cover is one of the fun things. I’ve been blessed with great book covers, and it’s always exciting to see what the publisher has created.
After a cover is chosen, you get Advanced Readers Copies. Then, you get your author copies near the release date.
Do you have questions about the writing process? Feel free to ask in the comments or via social media.

Hi Sherida,
I made my deadline. Yay. Thanks for your kind comments. We fill out a form and mention things we’d like to have included. Then we receive three potential book covers and pick one of the three. I have been blessed with great book covers.
