The Journey of Creating the Book

The creation of Arthur’s book has been a journey in itself, involving friends, family, and trusted professionals. The process began with meeting Sandra, an old friend and a skilled editor. She played an essential role in transforming the manuscript into a polished book, offering valuable feedback and revisions. Sandra’s connection to Arthur quickly deepened as they visited Mill Valley Ranch, closing a chapter of her own life while opening a new one through her work on the book.

Next came the search for a designer to create the book cover. The task was taken on by the author’s daughter, a talented graphic designer, who collaborated with a colleague to deliver a design that perfectly captured Arthur’s vision. She also designed his business cards and logo, which further supported the book’s launch.

The journey to publication was not without its challenges. The team faced the daunting reality that traditional publishers rarely pick up new authors, with only a 1% chance of success. The decision was made to self-publish, a daunting task for those unfamiliar with the publishing world. After researching multiple publishers and receiving a range of proposals, the decision was made to partner with Tellwell Publishing. Tellwell offered a comprehensive package that included everything needed to bring Arthur’s story to the world – from editing and design to marketing and distribution.

The book is now a reality, and the journey doesn’t end here. With the support of Tellwell and the team’s dedication, Arthur’s story continues to reach more readers, inspiring and touching lives just as he has done throughout his life. Keep following this incredible story as it unfolds.
