Zoom Meeting
March 2, 2022 Wednesday 3:45 PM
Remus was more nervous than excited about the fact that his book will get published. The fact that other people besides Lily had read his book made him nauseous enough. He was currently trying to distract himself while waiting for James to send the Zoom link via email.
He had gotten a message from Lily a few minutes ago, but he was waiting for the moment where his nerves finally got the best of him and he was in need of a distraction to answer said text.

Lily Flower
How are you feeling?
Wolf Wolf
Like I could throw up
Lily Flower
Lovely!
That's how you feel everyday!!
Any new feelings?
Wolf Wolf
An increased feeling of anxiety and dread!
Lily Flower
Don’t worry too much, you'll do great.
Wolf Wolf
Of course.
Maybe it’s the anxiety, maybe the 3 cups of coffee I have had in the last hour.
Lily Flower
Oh Remus, what will I do with you?
Wolf Wolf
Sell my books for me if I die?
Lily Flower
That’s not funny :/
Wolf Wolf
It’s funny to me <3
Lily Flower
Haha :/

Remus looked up and noticed he had gotten an email from James.

From: Potter Prints
To: Remus Lupin
Good Afternoon, Mr. Lupin,
I will be sharing the zoom link here! If you have any questions feel free to ask in this conference. Today it will just be you and me.
Talk to you in a few,
James Potter.
JOIN HERE

In 10 minutes Remus had to join a call with a stranger and talk about his book. He has never talked about his book to anyone other than Lily, but that was Lily, he felt okay talking to Lily about anything because she was Lily.
Remus was also nervous about the fact he didn't know how professional this call was going to be. He had his most presentable jumper on and he had tried taming his curls, he hoped that was good enough.
-
Wolf Wolf
Talk to you later? I got the email.
Lily Flower
Of course,
Love you <3
Wolf Wolf
Love you too.
-
He turned his phone off and spent the next eight minutes staring at the clock until four. When it did hit four he made sure to wait an extra minute before joining the call, just so It didn't look like he was waiting for it to be exactly four.
He pressed join and was quickly accepted to the call. James Potter. Remus noticed he looked to be around his age, he had brown skin and ridiculous round glasses. He had messy hair and a big smile on his face.
“Thank you for joining me today Mr. Lupin,” He said, enthusiastically, “I’m James Potter but I’m sure you figured that out already.”
-
The meeting with James hadn’t gone too bad, James himself was nice and Remus was sure that man had talked more in that hour meeting than both he and Lily had ever in their lives. Remus didn't mind that much.
Remus had been told by James that he would give his email to the company artist who will then email Remus. The artist whoever they were will have to share their art with him before he could submit a commission.
James had sent his book to an editor who would look for any flaws and as soon as that got back, there would be a meeting where they would talk about obtaining the copyrights of his book and an ISBN. As well as talking about the format and layout of the book. James had also recommended that he should start a social media account to promote his book; it didn't seem like a bad idea but he had no idea how book marketing on social media worked.

Wolf Wolf
Meeting done, I made it without throwing up!
Lily Flower
Wow!
What did he say??
Wolf Wolf
Way too much
Told me an artist will contact me for the cover art.
He also said he sent my book to an editor in case of any flaws
And then talking about copyright stuff and an ISBN for the book
Lily, it was a lot why did i do this?
Lily Flower
Good luck finding any flaws. That book was edited like 2 thousand times.
And you did this because it's a great book.
Wolf Wolf
I hope you know I let out a big sigh.
Also he said something about promoting the book online which I am actually dreading to do.
Lily Flower
OH OH REM LET ME DO IT PLS PLS PLS
Wolf Wolf
Go ahead, I will pay you with my first born.
Lily Flower
You owe me 3 first borns, you better have triplets.
