QUOTE (Lennox @ 13th May 2007, 03:14 AM)  So we are on the same page here , not once in my post did I ask you how much your book sells for, I just stated what I know from my friend and her books, yes she has had several published and yes I do have her OK to name her on this thread. IF I was going to buy the book I would except to pay for shipping. My statement was the fact that you seemed to think it absurd that a publishing house would offer free/ cost priced books for you to pass out to your family and friends. I think if you self-published your book you could set the price to sell it at !!
Dunkey, you can correct my spelling all you want I am a big girl and I can take that.. I do thank you for your agreement. Lennox I was not trying to be insulting and glad you never seen it as such. As for free copy, Georgia must have it on disk or on the pc, she could send that to friends or family for free. That could also be sent to local media to ask if publicity could be gained by offering a couple of her books as prizes. Good feedback from say a radio station or newspaper could lead to quite a few sales. As for criticism, it's no good just accepting plaudfits, you must be willing to take the criticisms too or you will never improve.

QUOTE (georgia @ 12th May 2007, 10:27 PM)  ....and so would I Lennox...read post 87!!!! Where did all this rubbish come from that I'm worried about giving the plot away or that I don't want feedback, To reiterate read post 87...I am VERY interested and would welcome feedback!!!
I put details of my novel on GG because rightly or maybe wrongly I thought Glaswegians on the site might be interested in the story This rubbish as you put it comes from seeing certain people bring this up again and again on this thread, You came on this board Georgia with one thing in mind to sell a Book! now that may have changed since you have been here a while but your first post was I Just had a book published.! so thats where some of my "rubbish" came from . We are all from Galsgow here some of us forget that, I grew up poor and in a Tennement , but I bettered my self, but I don't rub it in every chance I get . As for removing your thread that is up to you I have never asked you to do that nor would I, nor would I ask GG Admin to. But all this stuff about your book and all the private emails should be that Private ,don't ask people to email them to you if you want your reviews to be private then keep the whole thread private.... Untill today I never posted on this topic, now I am getting attacked for it, it comes back to freedom of speach. You are free to do as you please and so I am, tell me something Every one else pays for sponsorship ( to advertise on GG) do you pay to advertise your book on here ? Maybe I am the "token member" who is asking what others won't. Sorry if members don't like my posts this is how I feel, people who live in Glass houses should not throw rocks .

Sorry if members don't like my posts this is how I feel, people who live in Glass houses should not throw rocks . Lennox I put my book onto GGBB because I thought fellow Glaswegians would be interested. To reiterate yet once more...I WELCOME REVIEWS ON THE BOARDS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE READ THE BOOK and have set the record straight more than once on this topic about the complete misunderstanding regarding this! (how many times do I have to repeat this!) I only answered your post Lennox...no-one is attacking you...on the contrary I feel I am the one who is being attacked here!! I have been warmly welcomed, encouraged and supported on other sites and I (wrongly) assumed that GGBB would be the same. I can accept criticism from people who have read the book, whether it be good or bad, it all helps! What I didn't expect was to be accused of trying to sell my book on GGBB and not wanting feedback made public! I have open reviews on websites all around the world so why wouldn't I want it on GGBB???? If GG members feel that I was only trying to sell my book rather than the truth which is that I was chuffed with myself for writing a book and wanted to share my joy and accomplishment with fellow Glasgwegians, then I will have this topic removed. Sorry if I offended anyone, it wasn't intentional

Sorry if I offended anyone, it wasn't intentional I do feel as though I was being attacked , I never meant to attack you, I was asking questions, you stated your self that you had a book published, maybe you should have said " You published a book" ... I love to read and I don't buy a book and then leave it for weeks before reading it, but thats just me . I find that strange, to each his own. Don't have your post removed on my account ! I was just stating my thouhts, that I don't think this is the place to sell things( no matter what it is ) we all have one thing in common here and that is the love of our Dear City.... Dunkey you seem to know a lot about the book world, Who is Ben Elton?

Java & Lennox,
Believe what you like, I'm not really bothered, it's obvious that you're not going to accept the truth.
I am still chuffed about my book, I can take any sort of criticism, good or bad, because I learn from it...infact bad publicity is sometimes a very good thing!
