“Next week is the last lecture on independent publishing!”
The teacher’s big smile made me think, ‘Wow, the 6-week journey is finally coming to an end.’
Pathetic human being.
I can’t even imagine the line that follows.
“So, Mr. Woo! Please complete the cover and pages by 9 a.m. tomorrow and submit them.”
“Huh? It’s 8pm now?”
“Hehe. The original finish makes everything possible.”
The dagger that came from the teacher’s laughter hit my heart.
I just thought class was over. I never imagined that the deadline for my book was also approaching.
Fortunately, my teacher had repeatedly told me not to put too much pressure on myself, as I was only making a sample book and not publishing the manuscript right away, so my heart started pounding like crazy.
“It’s a sample book, but this manuscript needs to have full stops, right?”
“yes….”
“This is a sample book, but I think it would be good to include a parchment form for the three editions of life counseling that only the devil can see. You can change everything, right?”
“yes…..”
“You want it to look good, right? A sample book? All you have to do is match the overall saturation of the cover and place it on InDesign. We learned how to get books in class last time, right? It’s simple, right?”
It’s simple, though. Sir… I’m a beginner at InDesign. I was just digging until a day before I arrived. To be honest, I’m not confident about putting up the cover, but the thought, “Can you do it for me?” never came out of my mouth.
“Ah… of course, teacher.”
“That’s right! He’s a very good student.”
The brilliant student’s forehead crumpled in an instant.
can i do it? When the teacher saw that I had not been able to erase the page numbers in the pages just a moment ago, he asked, ‘Did you do this on purpose?’ I ended up giving an embarrassing answer, ‘I don’t know how to erase page numbers.’ I? Anxiety about the unknown world quickly turned me into Miss Hongdangmu’s Yang Mi-sook.
Luckily, there weren’t just great but worried students here. There was a teacher who was better than the students.
“Ah! And my novel was really interesting. Even though I read it without proofreading it yet, it was very interesting. The instructor I was with also liked the writing.”
“Yes? Really?”
It almost brought tears to my eyes to hear that the writing of a teacher who publishes dozens of books every month was good.
“So, 9 a.m. tomorrow. Writers always meet deadlines, you know? We’re looking forward to your book.”
“Yes!! Of course!”
I only found out after leaving the bookstore. The teacher was such a high level student that I couldn’t even guess his level.
So, I worked hard until 2 a.m. to submit the sample book.
I redesigned it because I needed a page that would contain cotton paper. From now on, pictures must be at least 3000 pixels.
* When deleting InDesign page numbers from the page rather than the master file, press the Shift + Control keys together to delete them.
* If you go to a site where you can get books on the cover, select the total number of pages, g of paper for the inside page, and toner ink, the site will calculate the width of the book cover.
