I k...This is really cool. Thanks for outlining it.<br /><br />I know authors get little say in their book cover -- but what about other elements like chapter headings and the way page breaks are handled? Do you get any say in that? What if the publisher wants to use a super fancy curlicue as a page header element and you want to puke over it?Sierra Godfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552916038080341870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21790035.post-80293751196190037532010-05-27T13:47:51.264-04:002010-05-27T13:47:51.264-04:00Carrie,
