Two Requests

[erastes]

I've just been told that Standish has been nominated on the Editors and Preditors poll, which has surprised me. I'm very happy, so thank you whoever nominated me.

It's a bit like fandom awards by the look of it, anyone can be nominated and anyone can vote, so I dare say the popular kids will win, BUT if you have read Standish and enjoyed it, I'd be very grateful if you will go and vote.

Secondly, I'm starting a campaign to get Standish available in book form in the UK (other than Amazon). There's a good reason for this My best Real Life friend is the Gay Books Reviewer in Time Out. What! I hear you say - with a contact like that you should get all the publicity you like. However it doesnt work like that. She can't review it unless it's available in hard copy form in bookshops. Stupid, I know....

So.

Please. If you bought your copy from AMAZON.CO.UK - AND - you genuinely enjoyed it - would you kindly go and leave a review on amazon.co.uk. This is not for my ego - but Ms Godfrey from Time Out says that if the book has a few reviews she can write to the distributor (who she knows well) that it's a book that they should seriously consider stocking....

And then once it's available in shops - she can review it!

Thank you kindly!

done!! (the voting)

unfortunately, I bought the book from amazon.com in the US, so I can't help on the UK front.

would a review on the US site help?

You got my vote for your category! It is so hard: many of the writes I know are nominated... I try to give to anyone a vote in their category... ciao, elisa

I put a review on amazon.co.uk a couple of days ago. They say it can up to five working days to see it there - I keep refreshing to see! I'll send you a copy if you like *g*
