Hey all!
Today we are going over our presentation for KPMG and working out the kinks. Our presentation covers topics such as a short bio of our author, our progress over the semester, and why poetry matters. Stay tuned later today for pictures from the presentation!

Hello all!
Next week is the KPMG presentation! Three of our group members will be pitching our manuscript to a publishing company; the presentation will cover topics such as our social media campaign, copyright and a brief bio of our author, John B. Lee. We are doing our first run-through as I type this post.
The next few days we will be running through the presentation several times in order to nail it down. So far, it's looking great!
Video Wednesday!

Hey all!
Today the editing team is going over what needs to be done for our KPMG presentation two weeks from today.The presentation is our book pitch to the publishing company. Three of our group members have stepped up and volunteered to present our manuscript.
But should we have handouts or no hands outs? What three stories do we want to tell? What four questions do we have for the business men? There's a lot of detail that goes into selling an book!
Stay tuned for Wednesday, when we will be releasing the title we will officially be using! As for us, Word format versions of the poems - with our edits - are due. See you Wednesday!

Hey all!
Today was super exciting, as we facebook chatted with John B Lee about his ideas about the book. John was very enthusiastic about the book so far and gave us a lot of great advice. And you heard it here first: another one of his poems might make its way into the manuscript!
Other than that, we split the poems between ourselves to edit in groups of two. Because of the age of the poems, we have to type the poems out ourselves and then edit them - there are no electronic copies. Stay tuned for updates on the poems, due next Wednesday!
Fun fact: we found out today that John B Lee has received a letter of praise from Nelson Mandela for his work!
Check back in on Monday to see what we're up to - next week we're working on our pitch!
Reading Wednesdays! John B Lee reads 'If I were a Nation Innocent of War'.

Hey all!
Welcome back to the editing table! Today we're getting into the nitty-gritty of the poems and making changes as well as catching some typos that managed to slip through the first time.
There's a bit of a challenge because one of the poems has a visual element. We really like it, but it's the only one of its' kind. The question is, will it stand out too much or will it be a pleasant element that intrigues the reader? And if it's the former, should we take it out or find a way to reformat it?
Stay tuned to find out!
