They want £5400.00!


That's over 7K US!

No wonder you got a "Glowing Report". They are just after your money to publish your book.

I'd pass Anna...


Don't worry, James. I told them I can't afford such a sum but, if the book is as good as the report suggests then maybe they should take a gamble and publish in the traditional way with no upfront...
I eagerly await their no reply!
Today I had an offer from a publisher for my novel, 'The Nurses'.
It came with a wonderfully glowing, 4 page 'independent' report which sang it's praises highly.
It ended with this paragraph;

"I enjoyed the quick pace of this, the writing and the story itself. For its encapsulation of an
era, it shines. It’s just well pulled together. It does require a bit of an edit to get it market
ready, though nothing major for a manuscript of this length. However, when given a bit of a
polish, I think this will be a great novel that underscores a good deal more than the elegant
prose belies. I am more than happy to recommend this for publication
."

"Ok, so why the rage?" I hear you ask.

They want £5400.00!
Odette Sansom Hallowes GC, MBE (28 April 1912 – 13 March 1995)

Member of the Special Operations Executive and captured by the Germans in 1943.
Despite being brutally tortured and sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp, she never gave away any information or betrayed any other operatives and survived the war to testify against the camp guards.

Imaginaerum.

A movie about the last days of an old man dying of dementia and his estranged daughter.
An excellent movie and an insight into the inner workings of a confused mind.
