Galley Copy

You might ask, what does Print Galley mean? As a new author, I asked the exact same question. So here is the explanation.

A Galley Copy is the first printed copy of your book. The author receives it before it is published so they can make final checks and approve it for distribution.

It has been an amazing journey to get to the point of receiving my first-ever Galley Copy of The Dragon Prophecies. Navigating all of the nuances of the publishing world as a new author has been
a learning curve with many challenges along the way. For all the inspiring authors out there, let me tell you, it is worth it!

The day it finally arrived reminded me of the way a story begins…..

It was a cold and rainy day as she waited with anticipation for the knock. She had received an earlier notification that it was due, and excitement mounted as the day progressed until the long-awaited
moment finally arrived.  Jumping up with joy, she rushed to answer the door, savouring the memory.

Imagine the excitement of a box arriving at your door, opening it with anticipation, and then holding the first-ever printed copy of your book. It is an amazing feeling and a reminder that all the hard work and challenges along the way have been worth it. This experience has been a standout point in my writing career. If you have ever thought about or considered writing a book, I would encourage you to give it a go to experience this moment. It is a point of pure joy in something that you’ve created.

I am always looking for inspiration for future blogs. Leave me a comment below about your thoughts on this one or what you would like to read about ? or contact me directly.
