Book of Jobs

A curious juxtaposition occurred by chance on the bus home last night. I was reading Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs in all its casebound, 650-plus page glory. The bloke sitting next to me was reading The Guardian on his iPad. I like to think Jobsy would have been amused by that. There's...

Self-publishing: Media exposure and reviews

The Drought is now less than two weeks away from official publication date. On September 24 my novel will be available to the masses of book lovers everywhere. I can’t wait! The only thing getting in the way of my excitement is that tumbleweed which seems to be hanging around. Let’s face facts – as a...

Self-publishing: Sell, sell, sell!

Exactly one week ago the first printed copies of my novel, The Drought , were finally delivered to my doorstep. It was a joyous occasion, despite the best efforts from the London looters to halt their arrival (the books should have been delivered two days earlier but the riots caused their delay - sort...

Self-publishing: Edit, re-edit, and edit again!

This week has been busy and productive, and things are now starting to pick up some real pace. Two days ago (July 27), I approved my final edited manuscript to be sent to press. Within a week I will receive the first hard copies of my novel, The Drought . There is a real air of excitement now. For the...

Self-publishing: The social media opportunity

At the start of this year a story appeared on printweek.com about Bristol printer Business Forms Express (BFE), who had made the bold move to drop their own website in favour of a Facebook page. At the time, managing director Colin Roberts, said the company was “moving with the times”. I’m not too sure...

Self-publishing: You do judge a book by its cover!

I read with interest an article last week about the research conducted by HP that claimed digital book printing is greener than offset. The comments that followed the article threw up some interesting debates; such an argument that the research only applied to short-run jobs, and what would the carbon...

Self-publishing: Are we there yet? Nearly!

Genuinely exciting moments can unfortunately be few and far between in your working and professional life. The clock hand hitting 5.30pm on a Friday is one of those moments, and having a vending machine that actually serves something that resembles coffee is another. But neither of these two come close...

RR Donnelley book deal poses POD question

Is RR Donnelley poised to embark on a major investment in book printing-on-demand facilities here in Europe? Reading between the lines of a recent announcement made in the US , it seems it could be. The print giant has agreed an expanded global supply chain arrangement with long-term publishing client...

Self-publishing: Think before you print!

They say that everyone has got a book in them, which apart from sounding quite painful (sorry – bad joke), it probably goes a long way to explaining why so many people are turning to self-publishing. The numbers speak for themselves, with some self-publishing companies in the UK boasting of 40,000 authors...
