I don’t think I know enough about any one subject so I think it would have to be semi autobiographical. Maybe a collection of short stories taken from things I’ve done and seen. Probably entitled ‘How not to learn from mistakes’

It'd be a fictional story. An existential, interpersonal struggle.

If I was ever brave enough, I'd publish my poetry but seeing as I write for me rather than others and rarely share my work, it won't happen.

I wrote three novel length manuscripts in my teens. All unpublished. If I did one now probably be a book of haiku.

It would probably be an autobiography piece, highlighting my early life, political views, and plans for what would make a better Britain while vilifying those responsible for its downfall.

Throwing a few names around, but will probably call it "My Struggle"

My experience here... “Fifty Shades of Red” (I’m a redhead) way more interesting than the “grey” tosh version

My book, which I'm thinking of doing, would be about my Dad growing up in London East end, during WW2...his story is so interesting and his memories are very clear. He was evacuated to the country with his Mum and little sister, with no possessions...they were moved around, sometimes daily, to different overcrowded houses... I would call it...'Where will we sleep tonight, Mummy?'....

"How to not write a book"

It would be really badly written and have a story that didn't make sense, but could be used as an example as to what not to do.

Very brief synopsis.

Unexpectedly they meet and he sweeps her off her feet. Reeling her into a world made of his lies until she finds out who he really is.

I'm not really comfortable sharing the titles because I'm not really comfortable sharing my full name on fab. But they're geeky non fiction on a subject that most people would find very boring lol.

And yes. You need a different ISBN for each format. I published hardcover and paperback, and as mine were photo heavy and the original editions were all printed in mono I did a limited run of a colour edition as well. So 4 different ISBN in total, as it was 4 editions.

No, first one I did a print run and worried I had over ordered, ended up selling almost 10 times that initial order and waiting for the books to fulfil the orders.

After that I took pre orders for the first run and ordered twice as many as were pre ordered, then did a second run which I sold and a third run which I still have a few left of each.

The third book is the one that is now published and printed by the local guys and they print when the local places that sell it need more. I deal with Amazon sales and if I need more I let them know and they drop some round (when I say local, I'm talking 500 yards from my house).

Colindale

I wrote a book before but never got to finish.

It was sci-fi with sprinkles of fantasy.

Set in the future, so a lot of space exploration but there are werewolves, vampires and humans battling for control of the solar system

I hope one day ill get to finish it.

They did say it’s cheaper to buy bulk rather than print on order but worries I’d be stuck with a load of books plus don’t have the initial outlay to purchase them all.

Also the issue of pricing, how do you decide how much your book is worth?

You take the general idea of how long is a piece of string really, that's how technical it was for me.

Look at other books on the same subject which are roughly comparable in length to yours, look at your outlay, how long it has taken you and speak to friends and family who you can trust to give an honest answer and ask what they'd pay.

I am seriously contemplating writing one. Everyone tells me I should.

It would be about my struggles with a covert narcissistic husband. He has been arrested 2 times, breached my safety order 5 times, tried to run me off the road is his car, is being investigated for fraud for forging my signature on a bank document.

I lost both my parents, dad in 2015, mum in 2018. Have had cancer 2 times since 2017 also. No one talks about 'young' women getting breast cancer. It needs to be highlighted...self check is soooo important.

Thats just the tip of the iceberg. I like to share my stories as I hope it will help people, even just 1 person.

I am still standing, still smiling
