12 Apr 2005 - Hey, Mr Big! passes the all-important "break-even" point
With the latest cheque for three copies of Hey, Mr Big! the balance in the Mr Big account has now passed the "break-even" point , with income from 3-months of book sales, plus grants, now covering the entire cost of self-publication and the first print run of 1000 books.
A truly BIG thank you is due to everyone who has bought the book and those who have helped out with all the work behind the scenes.
It's fund raising all the way from now on!
Meanwhile speading the word remains the on-going challenge. At this stage the main emphasis is on seeking book reviews and recommendations which focus on the content of the book. News coverage is all very well in the short term but ultimately the book must stand or fall on its own merits.
And it's not just formal, printed reviews in magazines that count. Individual reader reviews on some of the on-line book sites can be a great help too!
