In high school I was drafted to be on the layout crew of the newspaper. Then, in college, I was drafted again, this time for layout editor. I really enjoyed the work, but I never guessed how much the experience would pay off.
I am in the process of laying out two books with a wonderful(ly free) desktop publishing program I discovered. The first is Another World, a print collection of the 50 flash fictions I’ve posted on this website. The profits will go toward the 7th-8th grade DC trip for the students I teach. The second is The Day After, a collection of short stories by four authors, myself included. More details to come.
I’m not doing much writing at the moment, but there’s a lot going on behind the scenes. Look for a publication announcement within the next month!
