kath Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Hello folks . My first novel is due to be released soon. The book is called 'Mad about the Boy' and is about pop star obsession. I have to say that the research for my book was terribly hard - I really didn't know where to start. The book isn't about Mika at all. However, most writers write from experience and this is a story wound around many of my own experiences. But it is purely a story. Hopefully a good one. I hope you enjoy it . If anyone has read it and enjoyed it please could you post a review on the publishers site? Thank you:biggrin2: http://www.troubador.co.uk/book_info.asp?bookid=1665 Edited February 28, 2012 by kath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sienna Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Oh this is really exciting! First of all: Congratulations! I write a lot myself but so far I haven't got anything more than short articles published, so I have a lot of questions for you. How did you do it? Did it cost you a lot? Of course it is an advantage to write in English but I can't do that, only in my mother language. I will definitely read it as fast as I get my hands or eyes on it! Couldn't you at least give a hint in which on line store I can find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is ever easy to break into the market for new writers - but it certainly isn 't at the moment with the economic situation as it is. I went to The London Book Fair last April and was introduced to the concept of self publishing. I didn't really know anything about it before. Doing it this way means that you put the money up yourself to actually have it published. But I like the ebook route as there are no printing costs and you can potentially sell millions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
