PUBLISHING!

There are numerous things we have to do this week before we leave for break. Some of it we'll do in class. Some of it will have to be done at home. Here's the run-down:

1. Finish the summary document (all of it). It's due this Wednesday. Look at the post from last Wednesday for definitions and models.
2. Get your novels ready for publication AND publish it in some way. (This is required!)
3. Make sure you have a book (or two. or three.) that you will like and enjoy reading over break. Click here for recommendations from last year's 9th-graders.

Links and Directions you will need:

Directions for CreateSpace can be found here.

Choices for publishing your novel can be found here.

Things to add to or fix in your novel BEFORE you upload it to CreateSpace (or publish it at all):

• Is your table of contents correct?
• Did you add a copyright page?
• Would you like to add a dedication page?
• Have you written an "About the Author" to put at the end?
• Have you edited for grammatical errors?
• Is your novel properly formatted? (Check this link to make sure you have!)
