Well hello there!

It's been a while. And that's because we've been doing the nitty gritty of this publishing lark; editing that text into shape, copy-editing it into perfection, designing a cover so all the pages don't fall apart. And do you know what? We're neary there. So nearly in fact that the fine folks at Unbound need to finalise the names that will appear in the back of the book.

So if you're one of those actor types who says they'll go and watch a friend in a show only to suddenly miss the last week -THIS IS YOUR FIVE MINUTE CALL. Actually it's beginners, you need to pledge by midnight on Sunday 22nd July. If you've got relatives or friends who wanted a copy, it's time to give them a nudge. Go, go, go.

You can of course buy the book after publication but there's something very cool about seeing your name in the back of a book you've supported because it means that you made the book happen and - spoiler - I can tell you then you get a nice thank you in the acknowledgements too.

Now put your hands up...
