That great feeling when Chris Martin from Coldplay tweets about your book to his 23 million followers!
"butter" the new song by @BTS_twt "Israel and Palestine: The Complete History by Ian Carroll @IanTheWriter" - the book that spoke nothing but truth, called out Israel for being Zionists (stating facts) and had them mad WHEN I TELL YOU CHIS REALLY IS THE BEST! THANK YOU @coldplay

I only spend between £50 and £100 on mine. I get a mate to do it who is a graphic designer.

A lot of books are aimed at a specific market, i.e. ebook or traditional Waterstones etc. I recently got a publishing deal. The target was 60K when we were going the Amazon route. Now that we think we might be able to get it into bookstores, I've been asked to submit 80K to 90K.
Replying to @IanTheWriter
But aren't most books both? Mine are available as ebooks or paperbacks.

60K words is fine for an ebook as these tend to be shorter for Kindle reading. You need more than that for a print version as it has to look substantial on the shelf at the bookstore. That seems to be current thinking in the publishing world.
Agents, any thoughts on this? Would love to know. I know there are all kinds of commercial restrictions but don’t stories just take as many words as they take? Is less than 70k words an automatic no?

I agree. Best I've ever seen in a red shirt. Suarez second best for me.

Me too. What a player. Just needs to relax when he gets an opportunity. Trying too hard at the mo. Class act.

It will be, if they ever finish the roadworks outside.
More scaffolding coming down on the Radisson Red hotel conversion. This will be a great boost to Lime Street once completed
I don't think writer's shouldn't use a thesaurus. Trust your gut to find the right word. Works for me. I think!
What do you need to be a writer? In my opinion: a thesaurus and thick skin.

Another 5 star rating for the Quantity Surveyor's bible. A must-read for students and professionals alike and anyone interested in a career change to the wonderful world of QSing. amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1910…
My mate Robbie Brookside. A true gent and a real inspiration. Not many as good as this fella around.
40 years ago today, I got a call to get to Rhyl Town Hall to make my wrestling debut at the age of 15. Bunking the train from Sandhills L4 I made it ..just to wrestle Joe Critchley for a fiver. Forever grateful to everyone that has helped me along the way.
