Will you be there?
Run by writers, for writers
We’ll be launching this book on 19 February at 7 pm GMT. This will be a truly international event. I’ll be using my Zoom meeting room form North Manchester, author S Nadja Zajdman will be joining us from Canada and Pam Keevil from the south of England will be interviewing her.
Sharon has been a regular contributor to CafĂ©Lit and she has had several stories published in Bridge House’s annul anthologies. She has a strong writing voice and a very engaging style.
Between Worlds is a collection of essays / memoir vignettes, many of which have been published previously. They create an extra dynamic as they are gathered together in this collection.
Read more about the book here.
Pam has acted as beta reader for Sharon and she will conduct an interview. It should make for an interesting evening.

I became a publisher because I tried to be a self-publisher first. I had the idea of turning my once-a-year Christmas stories into a book … and realised it would take me twenty-four years to produce a collection of short stories…so I invited others in. I then found it was fun to publish and we have built up quite a list now since 2008.
Yet many of the same issues, routines and rules apply to self-publishing as they do to the small press. For some people self-publishing may be a better option than traditional publishing. I’m running a workshop on what might be involved.
Thera are many reasons why you might opt to self-publish and there are a few pathways though. One trick is to find the right pathway.
There are many of both: these will be discussed briefly
And therefore what you have to cover yourself.
Where you can find the people to help you with the services a traditional publisher supplies
These are the two main companies for print books. I’ll discuss the pros and cons of each one and also the argument about whether you should only publish an e-book with Kindle or go wider.
How you can get the above done cheaply or for free.
Many writers hate the marketing side of things but it can be fun. Here there will be a few tips.

This is ‘pay what you can afford’ workshop. I’m not charging for my time and all proceeds go to the Lancashire Authors’ Association.
