Book Launch event update.
Two days to go now and we’re rounding up all the things we need for the launch on Wednesday.
Collecting the book itself tomorrow – WOW – I know I saw the proof copy but this will be the real thing.
The printer was telling me about one of his friends who saw the book in the proof copy and wanted to know when he can buy it. Soon as we launch, it will be available from the website, www.writerslittlebook.co.uk
There are all sorts of things over there now with some video, me on camera, I hate it! Plus you can now follow me on Twitter and we’ve set up a ning group.
So head over there – once the launch is over then we can pay more attention to the online stuff. Lots of ideas, lots of plans with two more books in process, another product ready for production, and an audio product in creation.
Costs you nothing to join the Writer’s Little Book Club and it’s the only way you’ll hear about what we’re planning!
Come and join us and see how we can help you with your writing.

We’re making progress every day towards the launch on 28th January.
If you’re in the Nottingham area and would like to join us at the event, go to www.writerslittlebook.co.uk and request an invitation.
I’m publishing the book myself because I believe that with the digital printing revolution and the rise of social media networking for businesses, that’s the way ahead for many authors. That’s what we’re going to help promote in the Writers Little Book Club and offer training to show you how to do a great job with your book.
All our training and other things we offer via the Club will be as practical and down to earth as we can make them because I believe that small steps work, encouragement is vital and passion is where we begin.
Come and join us for the launch or at the club.
We’re going to have some fun with it and we’d like to share it with you.
December 18th, 2008 — How to write
When I worked at a medical equipment company and we designed and took to market 7 products in 5 years. My boss always said it was the last 5% of a project that was the hardest to do.
That’s because the enthusiasm takes you so far, then you knuckle down to improve it. But the final little polish… that can be the really tough part. It’s where many people fall down because they want stuff to be perfect. And it should be as near as possible.
Better though that it’s out.
We’re in the last 5% polishing stage of the producing the Writer’s little book… with Big Ideas. And we have a printer’s deadline staring us in the face. So we’re having to gather up all our resources which I have to admit pre-Christmas break are fading. We’ll do it though, then we can relax over Christmas and look forward to the launch in January.
The website is up now though we haven’t finished the back end yet and we’re like swans paddling madly.
If you’ve ever been in that situation you’ll know what I’m talking about.
The bottom line though is that the book is done and that come January it will be out and we can look forward to the next one. (Just in my head at the minute but soon to be on the page).
The Writer’s Little Book team got together for lunch yesterday to plot and plan some more things to offer, like training and videos.
So look forward to more reports of the book’s progress after Christmas and an update of this site.
