So, we’ve just changed our whole book proposal idea around, upside down, sideways, back ways, and every which way. And we have nine days left to create it.
Maybe I should give you some background information.
We haven’t been online much lately (our bad) because we’ve been CREATING A BOOK PROPOSAL. AHHHHH!!!!!
Exciting isn’t it? And damn stressful too. We’re creating a book proposal to send to publishers so they can see how awesome our art is and publish us. Yay!
A proposal consists of explaining what your book is about, why they should publish you, how the world cannot survive another minute without a book like yours, and a few sample chapters.
The proposal needs to express:
-how serious we are about ourselves (Oh dear)
-how passionate we are about our work (We make love to it every night)
-how individual our book will be (We’ve honestly never met anyone like us. Really. Not even close.)
-how awesomely talented we are (Andy Warhol is quite jealous in his crypt)
Easy peasy.
But of course, the KodakKerouacs being who we are, we have decided to change the entire format of our book design and proposal. And we have nine days to write it out, design it and print it.
Awesome.
Well, Confucius say the path to success is lined with empty coffee cups and bloodshot eyes.
TALLY-HO!!!!!!!

As a former book editor, I can say with some authority that you left the most important part out: Why people will buy your book. In my editorial days, people who brought their own large audience could publish utter tripe between the covers and we cared not one iota. It was all about the sell-through, baby.

Thanks for the update. I was indeed wondering about you girls! Best to you as you get your proposal in – and back again, in a “sure we’ll publish you” fashion. Cheers!!
