Our annual schedule

This is the time of the year when we start to develop our next book. Each Spring we begin to work on our images, and this continues through the Summer with the aim of having the artwork ready for September.

I begin to write the book; in a rough format as the images are being developed, and then the final version comes together as we draft the books in September and October.

We work on the final text, and then format the three versions of the book- two eBook versions for Apple Books and Kindle, and the paperback for sale on Amazon.

Our Apple Books has narrator audio and name sounds, which can only be recorded at the very last stage when the text has been approved (after extensive redrafting and proofreading)

The last stages involve final text changes from suggestions of our proofreaders and some minor image adjustments. Then the text and formatting is locked in and we print draft copies of the paperback.

Looking forward to book 13 coming your way later this year and to announcing more details as we move through the summer.
