I got an email from the publisher on Monday that I needed to take care of a couple of things. The first was that they determined the page count of Next Time would be slightly higher than originally estimated. That’s probably because I had put in a blurbs page and another one listing my other books, neither of which was in my original word count. That incurred a bump to the cost of about 4%. I can live with that.

The other issue was my author’s photo for the back cover, a small profile pic that I’ve used for years on the web. For print, it needs to be 300 dpi, whereas the original is only 96 dpi. How did I fix that? I used Canva to size the picture and export it as a PDF, but at Print Quality, not just any regular PDF. Then I searched online for a converter and 30 seconds later had a 300 dpi picture. Overall, it took longer than a few minutes as I figured out how to do it all since Canva doesn’t natively support 300 dpi. In the end, it worked and I took care of business.
