Q: Where Can I Leave a Review of Meet Faith?

Reviews are EXTREMELY important and helpful for a book to be successful. If you're looking to leave a review, firstly - THANK YOU! There are a few options for where you can leave a review: You can email me at Tracy@SpotsOfJoy.com to provide a review that I can add onto the website. If you buy the book on Amazon you can leave a review directly on Amazon. You can leave a review on GoodReads - you'll need an account, but it's free and easy to create. Leave a review on other various platforms. There are many out there, but for example, if the book is in your library, sometimes they have an area to rate a book.

Q: Can I Buy Your Book on Amazon?

Sure! You can buy the book on Amazon here . Please keep in mind that the book will still come directly from me, the author! Therefore Amazon will receive all the credit ;) But seriously, I'm just happy for you to get the book! One benefit of purchasing on Amazon is that you can leave a review, if you feel so inclined - and that is priceless, and greatly appreciated!

Q: Do You Ship Internationally?

At this time, I do not. Unfortunately the US does not have great options for shipping a book overseas. In my research countries like the UK or Australia would cost around $30 - $35 to ship one book. I hope to have this figured out in the future, so please check back later or sign-up for my newsletter (see the bottom of the page). Should you be outside the US and interested in Meet Faith, please contact me at Tracy@SpotsOfJoy.com as demand will certainly help, and I'd also be happy to research the costs for where you live to see if we can make something work at an affordable price!

Q: What is the Recommended Age Group for Meet Faith?

Meet Faith was written for ages 0-5 years of age. However, I wrote and designed the book with all ages in mind. The reading level is simple, but the illustrations and messaging is targeted to all ages. If you have an older kid who just really loves dogs or animals or if you are an adult who loves dogs and want a simple coffee table book, Meet Faith is a great option.

Q: Is Self-Publishing Difficult?

Yes, although don't let that scare you off if you are considering this route. If you have written a book, or are considering doing so, research your options. There are pros and cons to all of them, but if you really want it, you can make it happen. I had zero idea about self-publishing until I started Meet Faith. I did lots of online research and also spoke to another author. After much debate, I decided this path was the best for me.

Q: How Did You Create the Art for Meet Faith?

I utilized photos (many taken by Dan Tydeman and the rest were my own) and I put them on my iPad where I drew over them in Fresco. I used a colored pencil style with layers, upon layers to create very detailed drawings. It's a time consuming process, but I do really enjoy it!

Q: Do You Offer Wholesale Pricing?

Yes! If you have a bookstore, pet store, kids store or any other shop where you think customers would be interested in Meet Faith, I would love to get you some books at wholesale costs. Please email me at Tracy@SpotsOfJoy.com so we can connect.

Q: Why Did My Book(s) Ship Separately from My Other Items?

If you select Media Mail for shipping, the package is required to only have books in there. Nothing else, aside from packaging, is allowed. So if you order other items, the may arrive a little ahead or a little behind your book(s).

Q: Why Does My Book Have Ink Blotches or Streaks?

If you notice any sort of ink drops, blotches or discoloring in any area, please email me at Tracy@SpotsOfJoy.com , and I'd be happy to correct this. The printer had some sort of malfunction causing some books to have distorted printer ink. The mistake wasn't noticed in the first few dozen orders, so it's possible your book slipped through the cracks.
