Reading, Writing and Many Red Ticks

Two of the things I love in life; apart from my family, the sea, being warm and, of course, very dark chocolate, is to write and read.

Can you therefore imagine my excitement and the sound of my squealing at having another fabulous imprint to run and my new book accepted for publication before the one I’ve just about finished?

I already have 6th Books, which covers investigations, explanations and deliberations on the paranormal, supernatural, explainable or unexplainable.

Drum roll, fanfare, clash of the cymbals… please allow me to introduce my shiny new imprint:-

Psyche Books - The study of the mind: interactions, behaviours, functions. Developing and learning our understanding of self.

Psyche covers all aspects of psychology and matters relating to the head.

How very brilliant is that? I am most pleased. The publisher website redesign will launch in October and I’ll let you know the moment it happens.

Now, about my new book. It is about hypnosis: what it is, what it isn’t, how to and why. I hope it will be entrancing! Two books in the pipeline? Get me :)

So, the opportunity to write for publication is coupled with getting to read book proposals and partner with other authors in the world of books.

If your knowledge or work falls into either 6th or Psyche you know where I am. But, please don’t send me nonsense or start your message with, ‘Can you tell me how to get published? I am desperate to be in print and make millions.’

Also, it doesn’t bode well if your enquiry email is strewn with typos. We all make mistakes. I often end up in a giggly heap reading back my own work but it is shocking how people don’t bother. This shows lack of care and it makes the red pen twitch.

There is a self-destruct mechanism in many published and would-be authors (not just authors, this happens in many careers and experiences) whereby people don’t really want to get successful in their career/relationships or life in general because they thrive on the process, the martyrdom and particularly the woe is me drama. Self-sabotage is very much the norm for many. Fear of failure goes hand-in-hand with the fear of success. Ha ha, listen to me being all Freudian, can you feel a book coming on…

I have a piece on The Psychic way on Watkins Review blog
