The Book & Tabbing

Absolutely fab of GP to print a copy of Kangaroo Land in book form.  Considering I printed off the manuscript to proof read I didn't catch all the errors.  It was like being in a candy store searching out delights ... only in my case errors in book form, lol.  Found lots. 

So read the book, noted the errors, changed the errors, all in 2-days ...

As per Pete, doing correct-indent-tabbing .. am on page 118 and still tabbing. So inbetween lunch with the girls (http://www.lipstickandhandbags.blogspot.com/ ... well, Walpole has NO PUB so I set up a women's group) Spring clean, I am gonna finish tabbing!!!  Tabitha, the wife of said GP Man Pete, said add my pic to the book.  She suggested the black and white one.  In reality, this one I am freezing my bottom off on a windy day on a Winterton day.  Windy as in the weather not my bottom.

Okay, off to indent ...

Err, coffee first ...

GP Print & Kangaroo Land

Laid beside me is Kanagroo Land in book form, whoop whoop!!!  I feel like a fully fledged author-in-print, a bestseller climbing the ranks, TV, radio, book signings lined up ... 

Okay, back to reality....

Still working the streets with Avon, accruing ££££££, with plans to start a pot towards sending Kangaroo Land to Hilary Johnson's Advisory Service...

GP Print & Kangaroo Land

It's official, Kangaroo Land, my travelogue, is with GP Print, plus Contents, Cover and Blurb.  Can't wait to see it in print form!!!!  It's a test run for them, even though they have only just printed a bunch of glossy A5 books, which look fab!  And for me, well, a book on my blue distressed book shelf at home will do very nicely, thanks.


PS. KL isn't officially published so if any agents or publishers out there are interested, ohhh pppllleeeaase get in touch   : 0 )

Re-Drafting

Am gradually printing and checking for repeated works in Kangaroo Land.   I really do want to get it to the stage where I can send it out once and for all - if only for more feedback and to say 'I've tried!' .   Also copying over chapters with 1.0 line spacing to give to GP Print of Peterborough to give book printing a go.

I really, really, really want to start a new book as have been on this one for too long.

That said, Avon's going well, so is my new women's group called Lipstick and Handbags!

This 'n' That

Well, although I didn't reach the Winning Ten in the Oxford Literary Consultancy competition I feel CHUFFED that I did reach the Top 100 Shortlist for Kangaroo Land.  Glass of Red went down well Monday night. So did the one Tuesday, and err, Wednesday ... oh dear ...

Have finished the book - but had feedback from UK Authors regarding the first 3000 words and I have a few things to change (more soon).  If I got a publishing deal the draft would be back on my scuffed old desk to change things anyway so more hard work ok ...

GP Print of Peterborough are going into cost effective and excellent quality book printing and would like to use Kangaroo Land as a trial run.  Blimey, go for it, I say! They get to practice and I get a book in print, errors and all ....  Who can say no to that?

Off to work ...
