Book stuff

People often ask me for help with their books, but I've only just published my own and don't consider myself an expert at all. It's been a whole new experience for me!

Here are some book coaches that have been recommended to me:

Jo Parfitt
Lesley Morrissey
Sue Richardson
Suze St Maur
Julia McCutchen

They all provide slightly different services, so I'm sure you'll find someone to suit you.

If you go down the self-publishing route, here are some short-run printers/publishers for you to investigate:

Biddles
Good News Press
Lulu

You might also want to invest in the latest copy of The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook (available in all good bookshops!) and there are lots of other resources online.

Good luck with your book, and remember I want a signed copy when it's published!
