Childrens Picture book 'Timothy Mean and the Time Machine'

[brassmonkey]

Hi Everyone.

A bit of self promotion here from a fellow yellow. I have just self published my first Children's Picture book titled 'Timothy Mean and the Time Machine'

It is available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon here https://buff.ly/2MCbMhQ

Some illustrations from the book are on my web site www.williamaeford.com

If anyone is nice enough to purchase it, I would really appreciate a review on Amazon or Goodreads. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43617901-timothy-mean-and-the-time-machine?from_search=true

Will.

Thanks Foley. For now yes but am working on getting into other distributors away from Amazons grasp. Im trying to get the book into libraries and schools. Its a totally new industry for me to learn.

Good luck
Who did you approach to get it published - and how did you get on with the different companies - who are the best to approach??

 

[Briggsy]

Thanks Mooro. I wrote the book years ago and tried several book agents at the time but didn't get success. I decided last year to self publish and see what happens. I have 2 or 3 more children's books nearly finished so will try and land myself an agent going forward.

Is that not expensive doing it that way?

 

[brassmonkey]

Yes, it was an investment in getting the book illustrated and then any marketing activities.

My book is free on Amazon today if anyone would like a fun story to read to their children

Thank you Pete appreciate it. I havent heard of 'Blood on the Cowley Road' before I will check it out. Have you read it?

 

[Colin B]

I read it and it was a decent read. I won't give the story away, but it did involve OUFC in some way.

I think Peter Tickler is/was a fan?

I remember reading The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time, and Oxford based author Mark Haddon managed to get this in to it.

There is not a university in our town, which is Swindon, because it is a small place ... Father wants to move to a different town as well. He sometimes says things like, 'We've got to get out of this town, kiddo.' And sometimes he says, 'Swindon's the a*****e of the world.'
