Any of you who have written your own books
will know there is something really frustrating
about the publishing process
which is that the very first time
you get to hear what people think of your book
- the comments they give you -
is essentially in your Amazon reviews
which, unfortunately, means it's way too late to incoporate
any of the suggested changes
even if someone is very insightful..
.. and comes up with a really big flaw
that you didn't spot throughout the process
you can't do anything about it.
So, with my new book that's coming out in September
I thought I'd do something a little bit different ..
.. to rectify that issue.
(This is the cover that you helped me choose, by the way -- thank you very much for that)
What I thought I would do
is try a sort of peer review process
.. for books.
I've managed to persuade my publishers
to give me 15 extra copies of this draft version of the final book
that I can send out
to people
who would like to have an advance copy
a few months before anyone else.. But also..
who don't mind sending me their comments
if they spot anything a bit weird
along the way.
Now, unfortunately, there is a tiny catch
which is that the printing process takes a really long time.
Even through the book's not out for a while
we've actually only got a couple of weeks left before
I have to submit my final, final version
of the book.
So if that sounds like something you're up for
and you can let me have your comments within a couple of weeks
then send me an email to the address that's linked
to this video
and I will post you out a copy.
Only 15 though, unfortunately. But y'know. I'll post out a few copies.
