I worked for most of my life as a freelance Training consultant in management. Having now chosen to retire from this profession, I now have more time to indulge my passion for writing. I recently had an illustrated children’s book published on Amazon ‘Milly, Molly and Fat Cat’ and I have finished my second manuscript, now editing ‘Archie and the Witch‘s Spell’ looking for an agent!

No Lorraine she’s a separate company Called The Writing Coach. Time difference might be an issue although all her stuff is on catch up but very motivating To work with a group again.
Thanks Sarah that’s really useful information. I would love to get my book published via the traditional route but no luck so far.
Thanks Danny. I have a friend who has a business called the writing coach. She is quoting me for a thorough edit so hopefully I’ll be in the right place to self publish.
I’m reading his book at the moment, Richard Osman, someone bought it for me. I liked the start but half way through I’m getting bored with his style.
Thanks Georgina. Yes I will do that. How did you find your edito?
Thank you all for your responses and help. I think another assessment is a good idea so that I can put my best work out there when and if I go down the self publishing route.
Thanks David. Yes I’d be very interested to hear how you get on. Did you find the illustrator independently or were they recommended?
Hi Dave,
just wondering how you were doing? Any luck with publishing yet?
