Not too late at 58


Other people I am getting help from:
  • the lovely Rebecca Watson of Watson Design who is going to design the cover. I have tried to give her a precise brief to work on so I'm looking forward to what she comes up with. Check out her website to see some of her work www.rebeccawatsondesign.co.uk
  • the lovely Patrick Neaves, a former student of mine, who is going to take a really really really really good photo of me - that will test his skills!
Thanks to both - and watch this space.

Not too late at 58


I had a lightbulb moment was when I was on a self-publishing course run by Cumbria Chamber of Commerce. It was led by the very excellent David Kinsella and Paul Teague and the biggest things I learned were that:
- I can't do all the techie stuff myself
- I can't do all the marketing stuff myself
- I NEED HELP and I'm now asking for help.
- But I am ready to give all this my best shot


I asked for some help and it has come from several different places.

I will shortly be interviewing two friends about their completely different achievements 'later in life'. Look out for Ali Turnbull of Fit to Print and Zoe Dawes aka The Quirky Traveller who will feature in the book. Others are already lined up for later.

Anyone else who thinks they qualify can contact me.
