I made a book for 504 based on a quote by Neil Gaiman. It has been suggested to me that I get in touch with him on social media to show him they book. I would love to get some feedback from him. he has been a huge inspiration for me, not just in that project but in all my recent work. It has also been suggested that I should talk to local book shops to se if they would be interesting in stocking a limited run of the book. I am a bit apprehensive but think it would be useful for me to gain some experience of communicating with publishers and retailers. I am happy with the contents of my book but I am not happy with the finishing details like the way the book is folded and the cover. I would like to make some new versions of the book to try and overcome the problems I had the first time round. I want to be confident in the book before I present it to anyone else, I think it is important to have confidence in what I make so that I can pitch it with confidence. If I try and pitch a book that I see faults in and the same faults are pointed out to me I won't learn anything. I want to make the book as well as I know how to and hen if I ma told to make changes I can learn from the feedback.
