Coming up on Friday...

If you've read my blog before, you'll know I enjoy e-books and have been following the various news stories relating to them.

I mentioned on Monday that I'd be talking later in the week about writers publishing to Kindle. On Friday I will be posting a Q&A with writer Deborah Durbin who has kindly agreed to give an insight into the basics- from her own experience.

I realised a couple of years ago the potential advantages of turning short stories, novellas and full length novels to e-books, so wanted to know the answer to some obvious questions- if you're considering this publishing route.

I hope the post will lead you to wanting to find out more and hopefully I'll be bringing a follow-up item next week...

Monday News...

Another week and I've got a few ideas for items to talk about, but I need to sort out some info and speak to people first, so it may be later in the week before you hear more about getting your unpublished books on Kindle...

Meanwhile the Authors for Japan auction closed yesterday and the winning bidders are receiving e-mails telling them their bid was successful.

The sum raised at the moment is over £10,000 (exact figure to be confirmed) for the Red Cross Japanese Tsunami appeal. If you weren't one of the lucky bidders and want to donate to the appeal, you can still do so here.

Spring is trying to grab our attention, so enjoy what sunshine you may see- and feel- and perhaps you're bursting with ideas already - I think I need a little bit more sun and warmth to be bursting with anything at the moment...
