J.S. Jaeger - loves checklists!

[J.S.]

Hello! I've been around here for a while and I'm just getting around to creating our thread. I figured I'd better get it out there in case something exciting comes along. (Foreshadowing, anyone?)

A little bit about J.S. Jaeger. My husband, Jerry, is the J. I'm Stephanie, the S. We've been writing middle-grade fantasy together for over ten years. During that time, we've released one novel and one novella and solidified our story line so we'll be able to release the rest of our series (seven books in just the main series) much quicker. It's definitely challenging making time to write while raising our four children and supporting our writing habit.

Thanks for the support and advice we've received so far. I hope my tidbits of experience shared have helped someone along the road. I look forward to continued interaction with members of this group.

Friendly comments are welcome on this thread anytime.

Hello J and S.

I moved you into the appropriate folder for you last name!

Thanks to both of you!

After much effort, we're excited to announce our first novel, The Golden Wizard, is available on Audible. We learned a lot and are excited to share this new edition with our readers!

J.S. Could you share with me the expense of making your work audible? I have a fan that wishes me to do that. She is a truck driver and would like for me to do an audible edition.

There is a great thread under the SIA group titled Audiobooks where several authors have shared their experiences and tips. I just added a new one sharing what I'd wished I'd know before I started. Check it out and then let me know if you still have questions.

Good luck!

Handed the second book of our main series off to our content editor. One step closer to publishing!

I've been AWOL for a bit as we finished up our second book. It's finally to the printer and up on Amazon and I'm breathing for a minute until I jump into the next one. During the process of producing other books, I've created checklists for both the print and ebook versions. They've been so helpful! This time when I created the ebook, I followed the checklist and moved through the process so much quicker! What have you done to save you time during the writing and publishing processes?
