A Half Life of One is (nearly) born

Link: View From The Pundy House: On becoming a publisher.

Petrona's favourite one-man publishing revolution, Bill Liversidge, is seeking advice (above) about marketing his about-to-be-published book, A Half Life of One. I am going to buy and read this book when it comes out (my copy is reserved). I am sure it will be good, based on following View from the Pundy House for the past year or two. If any of Petrona's readers have experience of self-publishing and author marketing (and I think one or two of you do), please do head on over to the Pundy House at the link above, and drop Bill a comment. While you are there, take a look around his blog, and you'll see what I mean about the signs being propitious. (Don't get sidetracked into too many wild parties in the comments while you are there. You have been warned.)

Mr Charkin has left the building Mr Richard Charkin, Macmillan's Chief Executive, has a new job. From 1 October, he takes over as Executive Director of Bloomsbury plc (publisher of Harry Potter). A sad side effect of this move is that he's closing up the Charkin Blog: see Chark Blog - Pip Pip for details. This blog is, in my view, the most stimulating, literate, punchy and downright readable of all the book publishers' blogs I've come across. So I shall be mourning Charkin Blog now that its lights have been switched off, but hoping also that some form of it will re-emerge post-October to brighten up our RSS readers.

A map by any other name Via Going Underground blog (whose title is Tu be or not Tu be, pretty good, eh?) you can see, and indeed buy, various products based on this latest in a venerable line of London non-underground maps at the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) website. Here is a link to the RSC press release explaining the rationale for the map. "The lines include: lovers (red), mothers (pink), fathers and daughters (green), villains (light blue), heroes (dark blue), strong and difficult women (turquoise), warriors (black) and fools (orange). Interesting intersections include Henry V who meets on the warrior and hero line, and Lady Macbeth on the strong and difficult women and warrior line."
