Self Publishing - Nearly there

by Michael Anstead
28th September 2015

After a long journey I am nearly ready to put my work out here. I have just added a newly edited sample of my work, please head over there and see what you think.

In preparation for my release (my plan would be in time for Christmas) I have setup a few social media accounts. I would be immensely grateful if anyone who uses these sources could like/follow and share, to help me to spread the word.

My Twitter handle is @twelve_kingdoms

Facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/twelvekingdoms.novel

I have also setup a new email address and am building a mailing list, if anyone is interested in hearing more (or maybe earning my undying gratitude by supporting my Kickstarter campaign that will go live in a few weeks) my new email is twelvekingdoms@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks everyone for your support

Michael

Good luck with it all, Michael. I think you could tweak your work a little more - I've made some comments - before it's perfect. The punctuation issues are important; the rest is purely subjective, and down to my personal opinion.

Bear in mind that if you intend to e-publish, the process of reading on Kindle or other device magnifies your work, so that the smallest error becomes more obvious. We read in a completely different way than when scanning a book, simply because there aren't two full pages on view at any one time, only the portion of a page which varies according to the size of font chosen.

All the best,

Lorraine
