Hi there,
Thanks for the response, to be honest I am not that concerned about pursuing the publishing route. It was never written with publishing in mind, it was an exercise to exorcise the demons after a pretty torrid time - and in that regard it served it's purpose admirably.
However after it did see the light of day and some of my closest friends read it I was nagged and nagged to get it published, however in terms of being saleable I am at a very distinct disadvantage as essentially I am a nobody and Autobiographies need a selling point usually starting with the recognisability of the name of the author. If it happens then great, if it doesn't then no problem from my persepctive.
As a gesture to Disco3, I will offer the complete manuscript to anyone on here that contributes £1 towards the site fund.
How does that sound, anyone interseted in reading my book, PM me your email address and proof of donation to Disco3 and I'll happily email it to you.
