The final draft of my manuscript has been sent to the typesetter and I should receive the typeset (book page) version of Stairs For Breakfast by the end of this week.
Barring any changes to it (eg photos, font size, book cover), it will be uploaded onto Lulu.com for the book to be published. Once Stairs For Breakfast has been published, it will be for sale on Lulu (and after a few weeks, it will be on Amazon.com and co.uk – as well as some other websites)
Also once published, I’ll receive a galley proof of the book – and an ISBN – which will enable me to have copies of the book printed. I’ve contacted 2 book printers, however until I get the typeset version of my book I won’t know how many pages will be in the book! At which point I’ll be able to an accurate quote – and your pre-ordered books will be printed.
I’ve got an idea as to the postage and packing costs – but again, it depends on the number of pages in the book!
I’ve worked so hard to get to this point – and now am excited because Stairs For Breakfast should be out in February. I’ve raised £6,2K (so far).
There is still time to pre-order Stairs For Breakfast. I’m currently selling it at £15 (including P&P). Once the book is published the price will be increased.
I’ve updated my THANK YOU page. It humbles me to have sold close to 400 pre-orders. Thank you also to the handful of people who have invested in me, by giving me a small amount of crowdfunding money.
I would also like to thank my libel lawyer Alex Wade for his advice – and for giving me a big discount on his initial quote. He says he has never read a book like Stairs For Breakfast and would like to help me on my way to success.
Thank you to Stephanie Hale, who, like Alex, is easy and a joy to work with.
I’ll keep you posted on the publication of Stairs For Breakfast.
