2024 Coffee Table Book "Underwater"
After my Maldives trips in April of 2024, I decided to "publish" a book of my pictures with Mixbook.com . The company is similar to Shutterfly and its book offerings. Basically, add the pictures and build it online. Order the book for some colossal price point. Receive the printed copy. Enjoy.

I finally Understand...
Publishing a book is a much bigger milestone than writing. Anyone can say "I'm writing a book." Publishing a book is a journey, a long journey. Well, my first one was. More on that later. But I finally understand...what I have been teaching for the past 20+ years in elementary writing classes. The writing process. And the publishing process.
"International Teaching: The Best-kept Secret in Education" by Gregory Lemoine M.Ed.The idea came to me the week before. The challenge was to write a book "zero to hero", from idea to publish, in just 3 DAYS. The final product, on Amazon for sale, was 36 hours if you include the time I slept during those three days.
Yes, it was an exercise in Artificial Intelligence and Prompt Engineering. Cover and all. It cost me a total of $20. That's what I paid for one month of using ChatGPT-4 and DallE. |
"Finding the Right Fit" by Gregory LemoineI started "writing" my first book back in 2000. That was when I signed up for my first job fair, while I was still in college.
2020, during, covidcation my buddy Joe said "Greg, if you can't finish your book during covid, you'll never finish. Either publish or quit." And so I self-published with BookBaby for about $4,000. Sure, it is on Amazon all over the world. It's in B&N too. But I have to pay MORE for any edits. something like $0.50 per word. |
