Freebie Alert! Download these web survival tools that I helpfully compiled for my 2007 talk Who’s Afraid of the World Wide Web – on how authors can survive the New Realities of the Internet.
NEWS NEWS NEWS NEEEEWS!
The excellent Anita Loughrey interviewed me in anticipation of my talk in Bologna and here it is on the Cynsations blog.
Undiscovered Voices, the ground-breaking anthology published by British SCBWI in association with Working Partners is out! My novel Ugly City won a place in the anthology at last year's competition. Buy the anthology.
My cartoon is featured on the cover of Simon Morse's
The Pregnant Guy: Journey to the Center of the Birth.
Simon found my unpublished pregnancy cartoon collection Who Are You And Why Are You Standing On My Bladder on my homepage.
Simon's book answers previously neglected issues that affect expectant fathers such as "Am I getting fat?".
All pregnant fathers must buy this book - it will be a nice thing to read while sleeping on the couch once the baby is born.

He makes so much sense! I now realise how important the cover letter is. A query letter (with 1st chapter) I worked on for at least a month had the desired response - a request for the full MS!
Thanks for these - sometimes we need to hear people speak about the business!
