The University of Life from the Casting Couch-The Book

As we approach the end of the long road towards publishing the book Jean and I have now distributed the manuscript to several proof readers. We have tried to choose a wide selection of people, male and female, and eagerly await their comments, opinions and of course grammatical corrections.

At the same time I have completed a fairly comprehensive synopsis together with a covering letter which has been e-mailed to various publishing companies. I have been informed that very few publishers are taking on ‘new works’ from first time authors so we are also researching the possibility of self publishing our book. I feel that I have the expertise to promote the book both locally in person and on the internet. In the event we would probably publish with a ‘web based’ company which will of course provide an ‘internet bookshop’ access as well as Amazon facilities.

This is an exiting time for Jean and I as we plan ahead and consider our options. We both cannot wait to read the completed book. First reaction from our proof readers is that they all like the ‘style of writing’ and enjoy the ‘story line aspect’ which provides a completely different ‘twist’ to the very important subject of personal development. Advice from publishers I have spoken to is that our book provides the reader with an ‘original idea’. This leads me to suspect that creating a television series from an essential purpose written life guide is indeed a ‘novel’ (excuse the pun) idea.

Please do not hesitate to leave comments or e-mail me via the link provided. Most of our Blog readers prefer the second option and Jean and I look forward to hearing from you. Your opinions regarding our progress to date will be most welcome.
