MrBen Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I think it's just usual EDF sniffy banter Jumpingbean. The world is full of armchair cynics, many of whom won't bother their arses to do anything. Completing a book takes a great deal of time, hard work, motivation and discipline - whatever anyone says and whatever anyone thinks of the content it's a huge achievement so well done (and good luck).

jumpingbean Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Mr Ben,What a delightful chap you are! Thank you so much for waving your virtual pom poms for me. I just wanted to spread some positivity in the community and offer to share my experiences...maybe inspire some of those cynics out of their armchairs. Lovely meeting you on here and thank you again for taking the time to write.Best wishes,Lucille x Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/24060-ed-grazia-writer-author-of-bondi-blonde/#findComment-554321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodrot Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Im not going to get on your case, and im sure its a great book given your background and the cover really is a delight, but if you come along for a bit of self PR then ask for nothing critical in return, then you may find things dont go according to plan. Good luck. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/24060-ed-grazia-writer-author-of-bondi-blonde/#findComment-554322 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salsaboy Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Is that you on the front cover of the book? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/24060-ed-grazia-writer-author-of-bondi-blonde/#findComment-554363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpingbean Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 The critisism wasn't aimed at my book but the way my post was written. Not just PR'ing but offering to share my experiences and knowledge at no cost. The book is only ?1.59. Believe me, there are quicker ways to earn that than spending time communicating on this forum! Pls see note about negativity. I'd like to keep this thread as a conversation between those interested. Enjoy you weekend.

jumpingbean Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 I did interview her, yes. She's an inspiration...a real self-starter who made all her success happen for herself. She pitched her TV show to the BBC, and her book to the publishers, without any fancy agent or publicist. Glamorous, talented and ambitious. Go the Khoo!
