Bilbo Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 I just got an email from my publisher 'The book is well written....' and here are 50 pages of amendments... Its still moving forward (and his observations are entirely credible). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking from a little bit of experience, 50 pages of amendments for a first draft of a book of over 400 pages is pretty good going. I'd love to write a book on a similarly compelling subject. Keep us posted (you've probably got a lot of potential proof readers here also). C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Bilbo allowed me the excellent opportunity of reading chapter 1 (that's before the amendments) and I recommend we all buy a copy. Fascinating. Good luck with the amendments Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I missed this thread first time round, so I'm a bit late but wish you luck with it Rob. Hope it sells many copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 [quote name='bilbo230763' post='395280' date='Jan 30 2009, 12:46 PM']Probably - which is where it gets scary - people who are interested enough to look will probably know more about the subjects discussed than me and I could easily come out of this looking like a complete berk But what spurred me on was a colleague saying that the only thing worse than writing this book badly would be not to write it at all. Its a story that needs to be told and noone else is telling it so I thought I would. If someone says it is crap and writes a better one, then it has achieved its purpose![/quote] Great achievement Bilbo, congratulations and respect for making it happen.

leschirons Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Best of luck with the book. Quite an achievement. They say there's a book in all of us. Glad that you've written yours. I haven't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
