You can be a film-maker is published!

WELL the editor worked his magic and gave me some excellent suggestions for additional content. We also made a change to the strapline on the cover.

I added some more photographic technique and now each chapter is followed by a list of key learning points from the previous pages.

I was amazed how easy it is to publish to Amazon and then to a range of other outlets through the excellent Draft2Digital service. Within a few hours of me submitting the text and the images, the book was listed and available to buy on these sites.

By not offering it to Amazon exclusively, I will miss out on some of the promotion-power it offers but I'll see how it goes at first through this wider range of outlets. They all offer a free preview of the introduction and first chapter, so have a quick browse and let me know what you think. If you take the plunge with your £7.99/$9.99 please write a short review or tell me if you like the book. Suggestions for updates will be most welcome, too, or I can try to answer specific questions about film-making through these blog posts. And you can email me direct at [email protected]

Hi Martyn. I've just finished reading your book, found it really helpful. Also good to see we live in the same city! I'm about to make a start on your recommended reading list.

Hi Kevin! That's fantastic news. Which supplier did you choose? They don't always tell me when I sell a copy, so I'd be interested to know how you found it.

What kind of work are you doing and what would you like to do? There's a lot of opportunity in Peterborough so I hope you do well.

Some of the books are out of print, I think, so if you struggle, let me know. You're local so it will be easy to lend you a book.

Thanks SO much for buying mine. I can't tell you how great it is to hear from a reader. You'd think that after 20-odd years as a magazine editor I'd be used to it but I promise you it's a real thrill.

Let me know if there is anything you feel is missing from the book. I'm very much up for constructive feedback and most of the e-book suppliers allow me to update the text and readers can download new versions at no extra cost.

Good luck, Kevin, and thanks for getting in touch.
