Pandering for Publicity
¦ dialling in from workstation ¦
14:00 GMT, Thursday, 7th Feb 2008. Just got back from an interesting lunch rendezvous. Met up with the editor a major print magazine and online, who is also based in Bath; we grabbed a coffee and chewed the fat about books, roleplaying games and the concept of Print on Demand.
He’s a jolly decent chap. I’m asking the magazine will do a piece on me; he was very honest and described an overwhelming mountain of submissions from other writers, plus the big names like Banks who he most certainly wants to include, but, he also said that he was interested… and described some of the opportunities that are on the horizon. He was certainly impressed by the production quality of LULU’s books, and seemed genuinely thrilled by what I’ve managed to achieve through my own steam to date. All in all it was a very positive encounter.
