Sorry to bump this thread.Going to buy a KINDLE so that i can upload my finished novel, but i'm a bit confused as to which kindle would be the best .

Any recomendation's would be appreciated ,thank's Mikomi

There was a 2 page spread about my new book in this wknd's Star (Retro section). Other than a few copies in Sheffield Scene, it's not yet available in Sheffield bookstores. Why are Sheffield bookstores slow off the mark in stocking a well-written (I have several reviews to speak to this) book set in Sheffield when Canadian ones have it available? Go figure, but I keep trying. That said, it can be ordered from http://www.amazon.co.uk, http://www.kobo.com or via my website http://www.startingtoframe.com

Book title: Starting to Frame.

I found this thread really useful and found some good suggestions on how to promote my new book. My book is called Charters and Caldicott - As War Begins and is available on Amazon as a paperback and for kindle.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/books/dp/151777876X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1446210098&sr=1-1&keywords=caldicott

The characters of Charters and Caldicott are amongst film history’s most famous and favourite comedy duo. From their first appearance in Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes, Charters and Caldicott hit a resonance with cinema goers with their charming notes of sarcasm and dry humour. This initial popularity resulted in the two characters being reunited in several films throughout the 1940’s and early 1950’s. Full of British idiosyncrasies from a bygone era, the two cricket lovers are sticklers for upholding proper standards of dress, decorum and behaviour; no matter where they are or what predicament they find themselves in.

Leading characters in The Lady Vanishes film, they went on to re-appear in other classic films including Night Train To Munich, Millions Like Us and Passport to Pimlico. Charters and Caldicott, brilliantly played by Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne, had immense popularity and brought a smile and relief to millions of people. Created as a means of adding a comedy element to the spy thrillers popular the time, the duo appear as a pair of bumbling upper class fools travelling around Europe ambivalent to the events leading up to the start of the Second World War. Classic scenes see them sharing a bed in the hotel maid’s room in Bandrika, replaying a cricket game in a railway carriage with sugar cubes and sending a secret message under a doughnut to an undercover British agent. To the uninformed, it appears as though they were dreamt up by the German high command as a derogatory cameo of British foolishness. In reality, they reflect the British stiff upper lip in the face of adversity at a time when Britain stood alone in the face of increasing tension across Europe.

Charters and Caldicott - As War Begins covers the period in Charters’ and Caldicott’s screen life between 1938 and 1943 covering their first four film appearances - The Lady Vanishes, Night Train To Munich, Crook’s Tour and Millions Like Us - all classic films. This book brings together - for the very first time - all the scenes that they appeared in - telling the story of what Charters and Caldicott saw, what they said and what they understood to be happening. It tells the humorous way that Charters and Caldicott saw the world and the funny and exciting adventures that happened to them during this very turbulent time in world history.

How does one go about self publishing ,finding a printing firm and what are the costs please.

A good place to start might be my blog post: http://stevek1889.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/indie-publishing-on-shoestring-how-to.html

I have a query that I hope someone can help me with. I'm working on a children's book that I'm writing and illustrating myself. I will be sending copies of it out to various publishers in the hope of getting some interest.

Supposing a publisher liked my book and wanted to publish it...then what? what connection/relationship do you have with the publisher? will it cost ME anything to get it published? if the book sells how/when are you paid?

Don't get too ahead of yourself, would be my first advice, and don't pin all your hopes on getting commercially published. It is an incredibly tough market. Most publishers will require submissions via a literary agent these days so that would be the first hurdle, finding an agent. Your relationship is then with the agent. If you succeed then the first thing would be an advance (that can vary depending on how marketable a book is). After that payment is in royalties on books sold. If getting published is essential for you, you can always look to publish yourself. Don't pay anyone to publish for you: there are a lot of sharks out there, watch out! In commercial publishing money only flows one way: to the author. When indie-publishing there may be a small outlay (but there doesn't always need to be) which you should balance against realistic returns.
