Eoin Purcell's Blog

Skint Writer is an entertaining blog by, well, a skint welsh writer as the profile makes clear.

More importantly the writer is embarking on a mission to republish old work and word published by his/her independent publishing firm via print on demand.

By the end of June I will republish the two existing titles and publish at least a further two titles on a Print On Demand basis. They will be proper books available through the normal distribution chains and further I will put the contents of each book as a free download on my website.

The four definite titles are the existing cookery and poetry books plus a novel and a book of short stories.

By the end of June, this blog, the publishing company’s website and my personal website will all be linked up and the experiment will really begin.

This will cost several hundred pounds (loan already arranged – I’m skint remember) and my virtually undivided attention. There is editing to do, rewriting, cover design, typography, composition, formatting, sorting out accounts with a POD printer, etc, etc.

Check out the POD archive from the blog and read the comments. Fascinating stuff.
