So I just got confirmation that I am being published!! I don't know yet whether it will be a hard copy of a book or just an e-book, but I don't care! I'm SO happy! I feel kind of sick and light headed (I haven't even finished writing yet haha!) so I just had to share the news!!

PS Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place it seemed like the appropriate forum but sorry if it's not!

Details of my book aren't on there yet, but I'm sure they will be in a few weeks.

You can read a very early first draft here:
viewtopic.php?t=32463

It has changed a lot since then though, including the title, so please don't judge me too harshly by what you read there haha!

University Press, that's a way to start. Certainly something to build momentum with. The benefit of such a small press and circulation is there won't be many copies and if its embarrasses you later on, no sweat. :smt002 Congratulations though.

Pretending in words was too tentative, too vulnerable, too embarrassing to let anyone know.
