Another quick update on my book…

Seeing that I still don’t have a book cover yet, I’ve decided to look at the silver lining within this whole delayed book publishing situation, and I’ve decided to give the manuscript another proofread. Maybe I missed something, maybe there’s a better way to bring up a point… I think this is a golden opportunity to once again revise my material and make sure that I’m happy with the final product that soon you will be able to have in your hands.

The way I’ll go is that I’m going to conduct research on some of the topics I analyze throughout the book, in order to make sure the perspective of the author (that’s me) is as objective as possible. I want my book to be a very well-thought analysis where critical thinking is the main driver throughout each chapter. This means I have to look at each problem from different perspectives and develop it so that whoever reads it, may understand the point that is brought upon.

I will also update my research on countries that underwent revolutions similar to those that happened in Venezuela, in order to understand the before-and-after of their situations. After all, there is not a one-size-fits-all solution to the
question of fighting injustice… or is there?

Stay tuned!

A status on my book

As I mentioned in my Happy New Year Post that one of my goals for 2020 is to publish my book, I wanted to provide an update on what’s the story with my book.

Currently the manuscript is pretty much finished, both in English and in Spanish. That’s the good news. The Spanish version is also finished and completely edited. That’s even better news. What I’m currently missing and what’s holding the publishing altogether is that I’m missing a cover. I found a designer last year and long story short, she didn’t deliver the product what I wanted. I know I’m very picky and sort of a perfectionist, but hey… since this is my first time publishing one of my books, I believe the least that I can do is do it the right way and the best as I can.

The positive is that I know exactly what I want as a cover. What’s holding me back is that I haven’t really found a designer whose work fascinates me to the point of engaging with him or her and work on my cover. As of today, I have seen thousands of portfolios and resources and I’m pretty close to making a decision, so hopefully this should get things going for my little baby.

Who knows… maybe in the upcoming months you may see my first cover reveal.

Stay tuned!
