Self-Publishing Workshop

I thought I'd go along to this, which was held at Pimlico Library, as I'm interested in self-publishing and thought I might get a few tips.

Pimlico Library is a very modern library, with a cafe selling a wide variety of eats and drinks in the foyer, evening classes, lecture rooms, and of course, a good sized library.   Everything is new and spacious and it's the sort of facility that every borough should have.   But Westminster is a borough which tends to spend money on its libraries.

The lecturer was a chap who writes under the name of Edward St.Boniface, and has recently self-published a three volume tome.   But although he had self-published his own books, he didn't seem to be terribly clued up on self-publishing in general, and I didn't feel I gained much from going.

But just to show how small a place London can be, I met someone I knew there, who I wouldn't have expected to be there, but she is interested in illustrating for people who want to self-publish.
