Bella:
After the discussion of prices is over, we move on to other topics, though still relating to the book. Everything feels pretty surreal as I look around John's lavish office, thinking that maybe this could be me one day.
"You mentioned something about recently leaving your job as a teacher, would that have something to do with focusing on your book?" John asks me.
"Um, no, actually, that was for more…personal reasons," I sort of explain, not wanting to fully go into everything.
"Do you have a job at the moment?" John continues, clearly respecting my privacy and not pushing the matter of my previous job.
"Yes, I work as a waitress in a bar," I tell him.
"I think you could probably quit that job, I'm certain this book will do incredibly well," John gushes, gesturing towards the book. "Ah, now that we're on the topic of the book – and before I forget – graphics would like to speak to you about designing a front cover. Not that we dislike the one you currently have, but I think they have ideas of a more statement, eye-catching design."
"Of course," I smile, standing up and letting him lead me down to the graphics room.
The rest of the afternoon is spent down in graphics, going over so many possible designs. Less is more, or so I'm told, so in the end there's just a space like cover, with the title and my name on the front. Truth be told, I have to hold in more than one squeal.
"Isabella, we'll be in contact sooner to arrange a launch date and everything else, but it would be great to have it released for the Christmas market," John tells me. Well, it's September now, so that gives us a couple of months to get it released.
I give him my number before leaving Seattle. Tomorrow I'll get the new copy of my book in the post, so I can see the new cover for real.
I can't wait to tell Edward!
A/N: What do you think of the chapter? :D
Some people have asked what genre book Bella has written, and what it is about, but that will all be revealed later!
Also, I've just spent the past 20 minutes setting up a blog, and even longer before that designing Bella's book cover :) So, check out the blog, and you'll see the book cover (leave a comment with your thoughts on it!)
