Excited to Share My Final Book Cover Design and Manuscript Submission for Upcoming Poetry Release

Alden Carrow - British Counties In Verse.

As a poet, the journey from penning down my thoughts to finally getting ready to publish a collection of poems has been a thrilling experience. Today, I’m over the moon to share some exciting news! I've submitted my manuscript along with the final book cover design to Amazon, and now I'm eagerly waiting for approval to publish on August 2nd.

In this blog post, I want to take you through this exhilarating process, sharing my emotions, the creative decisions behind my book cover, and what it all means for my journey as a poet.

The book Journey So Far

The creative path of writing poetry has always been filled with highs and lows. Each poem embodies a piece of my soul, a fragment of my experiences and emotions. With a collection that spans various themes interconnected by my love for travel and self-discovery, I started to envision how my work would be presented to the world.

Poetry is not just about words for me; it’s about capturing emotions in their purest forms. Therefore, creating a book cover that reflects the essence of my poems became a top priority.

Choosing the Final Book Cover Design

After a series of drafts and countless revisions, I finally settled on a book cover design that encapsulates my poetry's spirit.

Imagine a stunning image of a landscape, reflectively serene yet profoundly inspiring, which I felt mirrored my intimate connection with nature and travel. This striking imagery perfectly aligns with the themes present in my collection and invites readers into a realm of thought and wonder.

A breathtaking landscape that reflects the essence of travel and self-discovery.

The color palette I chose is warm and inviting, filled with earthy tones that evoke a sense of calm while stimulating curiosity. The typeface selected for the title is elegant yet readable, ensuring that it stands out while maintaining an artistic vibe.

With so much thought and ambition behind this design, I feel it will resonate with readers, inspiring them to delve deep into the poetry contained within.

Final Book Manuscript Submission

The moment I hit the 'Submit' button to send my manuscript to Amazon was surreal. It felt like letting go of a piece of myself, a culmination of hours of writing, editing, and reimagining.

Submitting my poems was both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. I aimed for each poem to evoke feelings of nostalgia, introspection, and a craving for adventure. I meticulously formatted the manuscript to ensure it was visually pleasing and easy to read.

As I hit "send," I could not help but revel in the excitement of this next chapter.

The Waiting Game

Now, I find myself in the waiting game, anxiously awaiting the approval from Amazon. This waiting period feels both exhilarating and torturous. Every day until August 2nd, I find myself refreshing my emails, hoping for that green light to officially launch my poetry into the world.

I often remind myself that good things come to those who wait and that every moment of this process is part of the journey. During this waiting period, I’m focusing on how to promote my upcoming release, connecting with other poets and readers, and writing new poems to keep the creative juices flowing.
