I have some exciting news to share, as you may have guessed from this post title I have a book deal! You may have spotted the craft business guides I’ve been writing for the site and various magazines over the last few years. I'm also an affiliate member of the CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) UK and write regular business guides for their site too.
The book will be a guide
to successfully making and marketing a creative business.
From selling online to craft fairs, social media to working with
magazines, accounts to legal regulations it will all be in there. The book will be published by well known craft publishers Search Press, it’ll be on sale end of
next year.

I’ve decided to blog about
my experience of the whole book writing process on here, with guest posts from the publishers so you can see it from both
sides of the process. There's a tab on the top right of this blog where I will link all the book writing posts together so you can easily find them.
I know there are several other budding authors out there so
I thought you may like to know what goes on behind the scenes and what the
process is. I’ll be writing the first
post shortly about the book proposal and signing a deal. Next week I’m having a planning meeting with
Search Press so I’ll take some photos and blog about it once I’m back.
Hope you all like the book when it finally hits the shelves.
