Beginnings

Publishing a non-fiction book takes work. One must write, research, edit, and prepare a manuscript for print and digital publishing. One must exercise caution in documenting references within the book, write with clarity and choose the right vendors to provide support.

After a very long journey, Sheryl published her book on Amazon. During our trip to Ocean Shores, Washington, the book was released. The moment was in our car as we passed a sign offering covid-19 testing. Making It Work: Managing Your Health Condition Through ADA Workplace Accommodations (affiliate link) is available online. Sheryl’s book is a hit!

Mainstream Public

Finishing publishing a book can be a mix of emotions – a sense of relief, accomplishment, and pride, coupled with anxiety and uncertainty about how readers will receive the book. Authors often put a lot of effort, time, and energy into writing and editing their books, and once the final manuscript is sent off to the publisher, they can feel a sense of relief that the process is over. However, there is also a sense of apprehension about how the public will receive the book and whether it will resonate with readers.

Authors might also feel a sense of accomplishment, knowing that their work has been accepted and will be published. They may feel proud of their achievement and their hard work in the book. However, this sense of pride can also be accompanied by a sense of vulnerability, as the book will now be available for public scrutiny and criticism.

Overall, finishing publishing a book can be an emotional rollercoaster, with a mix of positive and negative feelings. It marks the end of a long and intense process and the beginning of a new journey as the book is released into the world for readers to discover and enjoy.
