I'm asserting my right to call this a book, although it's half way between that and a magazine - nice cover, simple text inside, you get the picture. Anyway, it's going to the printers on Monday, and should be done within a fortnight of now. So, basically, I'll be hassling people to buy it. I don't know the price yet, but it'll probably be around £2.50/£3 for six short stories. I've been told I don't sell myself very well, but I'm really excited about this and... er, everyone should buy a copy.
But of course, this is also interesting in terms of self publishing and going it alone. Bearing in mind the editor I've sent my last two stories to has recieved them but not given me any response (after a long, long time), I feel like I have some control over my work. I want to use it to send for reviews in the British SF small press, and in local bookshops, and I'll try Forbidden Planet. I used to do music/political fanzines, and I hated trying to sell the things. So I hope this is a bit easier. |
