Exciting News – My Mom's Poetry Book is Finished!✏️ - Jerry_Registered - 07-04-2025
Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to share that I’ve just wrapped up editing, illustrating, and designing my mom’s book of poetry — and what a fun, meaningful project it's been!
We’re publishing it through Barnes & Noble Press, and as soon as they approve the final proof, I’ll share the link so you can check it out.
The book is nearly 200 pages, featuring around 60 original poems, plus a special section in the back with scans of my mom’s handwritten manuscripts — I really wanted to preserve her original voice and touch. ❤️
I also did all the illustrations and layout, which made the process even more personal and rewarding. It’s been a labor of love from start to finish, and I can't wait to hold it in my hands (and maybe sneak it into a few holiday stockings this year ?).
Here's a peek at the front and back cover ⬇️
Thanks to everyone who cheered me on along the way — and stay tuned for the link!
