I imagine self-publishing to be expensive and really difficult to actually get books on shelves but it is definitely something worth thinking about.<BR/><BR/>Putting stuff on the web is tricky only because the stuff I have done is very much for the younger children who just wouldn't find it even if they could use computers. I'm not sure then how I'd get parents to find it either. The internet is a far easier place to attract interest in projects geared towards the adults.<BR/><BR/>Definitely something to think about there.Bitter Animatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06617537816971588380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170007670756935047.post-35406853994625416382008-08-20T10:51:00.000+01:002008-08-20T10:51:00.000+01:00Yep, London is grey, wet and usually encourages su...Yep, London is grey, wet and usually encourages suicide due to the weather but is there a way you could self publish and just get your children's books out there? Im sure you have thought of that already but I just wanted to mention it, why not start a new blog specifically about your books and have snippets there so that people can get a taste and if they want, place an order for the book from you? It could work and the internet gives you a world wide market place to dive into?Steve Hearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01526178272494246267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170007670756935047.post-70411536414195756382008-08-20T08:56:00.000+01:002008-08-20T08:56:00.000+01:00Wow, that's a really nice offer, ugtv.

I hate it and will be leaving as soon as the opportunity arises. My dreams are as unlikely as any but even the slightest possibility of them happening is reason enough for me to get away from this dungball of a country.<BR/><BR/>History is all we have here.
