Background

This blog is intended to describe the process of getting my book published and out into the world.  Given that I have been working on it for about five years, I am hoping that the publishing process will be somewhat quicker!  My book is being edited by Heather (who has had her own book self-published last year) - that editing is almost finished and once I have it back and are ok with the changes it is going to go to my readers.  I have three who I am hoping will endorse and provide me with some positive comments!  Plus I am contacting another possible reader who would have a wide following!

I've been in touch with a publishers in York (Quacks) who are going to print my book for me.  There is a great connection for me with them in that they have a Quaker connection, plus the business has been on the site for over 300 years.  The building has a wonderful historical feel to it.  The business itself is small, very friendly and have given me a sense of security and confidence!

I am also looking into the possibility of having a book launch at the same time as the next photographic exhibition at Oasis in Boston Spa.  This is likely to be sometime in October. 

At present I'm busy writing my acknowledgements page and author blurb, as well as finding a decent photo of me to go on the back cover.
