Trees reflect in a pond, and a bird flies above it.

Good day for #TheNature

A writer friend recently passed away. The family asked writer friends to assist in publishing her novel.

>we have ISBNs (can we use them for her book?)
>we can edit, format, & create a cover
>can we publish it under an ‘imprint’ created by an indie author?

Any insights appreciated.

Opened Microsoft Word, to find the “nobody asked for this” Copilot push notification. Asked Copilot how to remove Copilot, because I appreciate irony.
