Publicity

Building a publishing house from scratch requires masses of publicity. So far we've done okay, with magazine articles, radio slots and so on. Hobart Books is definitely on the map.

I have tried 'reaching out' (hate that phrase) to some of the people I met when I won my tribunal but this has been met with resounding silence. I was news then, today I am not, even though Adam and I have started Hobart Books from scratch with a view to becoming a force in publishing.

After publishing a few home-grown books, the next phase was to attract other writers and this has been such a success that, at the time of writing, we can't take anyone else on. Once we've got our current crop of authors out there, this will change.

Adam and I both knew we were fortunate when we received a copy of 'Out of The Frying Pan' on our e-desk. Written by Judy Upton, a prolific and successful playwright, this was a cosy crime thriller in the British tradition and quite beautifully written.
