Isabelle!

Apart from seeing my Abs. Favourite quote of all time (White Queen to Alice - I actually used it only last week as a 'throwaway line' in one of my current WiPs!!) I agree with everything in this week's Post. I may scrape together sufficient pennies to 'upgrade' to a Paid member later this year, if sales of my books continue to improve ...

A physical presence of something similar to Fly on the Wall would be VERY welcome here in Liverpool - there's still an inbuilt 'suspicion' of anything/anyone wearing a Manchester hat in this part of the world! If you happen to know of anyone looking for the opportunity, there are plenty of smaller commercial properties inSUBURBAN Liverpool which are MUCH cheaper than City Centre locations ....

According to a friend, the big publishers are looking for “cool girl” literature, whatever that is!

I can’t believe bookshops don’t even consider indie publishers for their recommended book of the month, and that it’s agreed two years in advance! That’s madness. And so dull.

You’ve developed an amazing business, Isabelle and have the self belief to get wherever you want to. Onwards and upwards! 🎉

Haha yes, cool girl is definitely a thing!! So they can get them the covers on Vogue ya know 😏 yes the chain bookshops are closed to indies sadly on those conversations, thankfully indie bookshops are always open to collaborations! Cheers Ali 🍻 ❤️
