Part of the busy-ness is that I've been working on some very interesting projects with authors who want to self-publish - or even those who have self-published already.
Caitlin's Wish is a storybook written for children with a disabled or unwell parent, family member or friend. It aims to help children in this situation see that they are not alone, and that their lives do not have to be overshadowed by the illness but that even though a relationship might have changed, it can still be a happy one. An extremely worthy book and one that people should be aware of. The first edition has done well but the cover price was high and there were other areas that could be improved too in order to bring the book to as wide an audience as possible.
By looking at a different way to self-publish, the second edition of the book will be cheaper with a better distribution set up and a lovely new cover (above). The lower cost of publishing means that the author can set a lower cover price and donate a significant chunk to the charities she supports while being happy that the new price will make the book more accessible to all.
It's a book that certainly needs to be out there and the author, Victoria Taylor is a human dynamo. She drives the project with such determination and enthusiasm (the book was inspired by her family's story) that I am sure the second edition will achieve all that she hopes for it.
