silverfox Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Me too, it must be good, picked up by a major publisher after few rejections, a very decent advance and a print-run in the tens of thousands.A signed copy from a local writer would make a good stocking present.

Y'man Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Beware of vanity publishing! That's where the publisher does the main body of work which you pay for, then they leave you with a number of books and the job of selling them. That's harder than it may seem.

steveo Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 My blog covers this very topic. Sales of London Babylon are jogging along especially after a chat with Robert Elms last week but I'm coming to the conclusion that going it alone is daft unless you've got endless free time and aren't prone to depression Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8582-why-dont-people-write-books/page/2/#findComment-269741 Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfox Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Methinks I'd better think about another stocking filler for Christmas presents Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8582-why-dont-people-write-books/page/2/#findComment-269893 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest assured though that, somewhere, a giant printing plant, working 24/7 is still failing to meet demand for this literary goliath, whilst those who cannot write for shit can only quake with fear and wonder.
