Hi Nicola - hope you’re well. Just reading the latest blog, I was wondering what tips you’ve picked up/heard of for self-publishing. I did a kids book years ago with a friend using blurb but it was so expensive per copy it seemed a waste of time. My wife has written a great wee children’s book (and I’ve read a lot to compare it against the last few years!) and has put it out to a few companies and had no nibbles. It would be a shame to leave it on a laptop tho as it’s really good. Be great to get any thoughts based on what you’ve heard in a future newsletter?
Consider this your kick up the backside, get back on the novel horse!
Ha ha - thanks James - much bloody needed đŸ˜‚

Hi Warren - thanks for that - I will ask for some tips and get some guidance for next week. I’m not the expert but I know who is. đŸ˜€
