Being Published

September has been a great month for me. One of my short stories "Saturday Afternoon Fire" has been published in 'America's Best Small Gardening Magazine' GreePrints, they even created a fantastic cartoon to support it. And now my second children's book "Monstrous Myths & Fabulous Fables" has been published by FeedaRead, they are a publisher sponsored by The Arts Council. I'm beginning to feel like a real author!

Congrats, Jingle. Just had a look at FeedaRead. They seem pretty decent, a sort of UK Lulu :) Looks like they use Lightning Source as a printer, who are good and reliable. We've used them for years at UKA Press. Nice one! http://www.ukauthors.com http://www.ukapress.com

Always wonderful to hear of a fellow abctaler being published. I find it is a great encouragement for those of us who aspire to venture down a similar road. Congrats!

Thanks for that Steve. ABC started it all ages ago. I learned to keep polishing the manuscript and then have a go. FeedaRead provided the vehicle, the road's open...go on Steve have a go! Byeee

Thanks for that Jenny. It is a dream come true but I still find it hard to believe. Great fun trying to market the book on the interent and elsewhere. Who ever said retirement was peaceful never wrote a book and tried to sell it! Byeee

Thanks Trev...I wouldn't say I'd cracked the American market... I just got lucky there. Still it does show that looking wider afield can make something happen. byee

Jingle

Thanks Moya. I must admit to being excited by this whole publishing thing. I don't suppose I'll ever write a best seller but to see my name on the cover of a well produced book...well I just never thought it would happen. ....but it has and I've nearly completed another... As they say in other publishing circles "Watch this space". Byeee
