Katie has developed a new web site for the book. You can download a copy of the first chapter there.
The web site aims, I think, to attract a main stream publisher. We should encourage that or, alternatively, encourage Katie to go another route. Please read the chapter - what do you think?

Thanks so much, Jim!
Oh that was me, AKA LE, AKA Katy
A real pleasure LE!
LE, wishing you the best. The only fiction I read know is press releases, largely from politicans and tech companies, which are of course utopian rather than dystopian and pretend to relevance rather than making valid social commentary.
I am not at all experienced in these things - have you thought of Amazon distribution?
Thanks 2T. I want to get it properly edited, and I can't afford that at the moment. I've been told by friends in the editing profession that a publisher will do it for me for free, and that it is eminently publishable, if I can get someone to take it on...! I have looked into Amazon publication - get e-mails from them - maybe after I have this baby I will think about doing that instead...if no joy from mainstream publishers.

I will follow this one with interest, LE.
