PS I know what you mean about the seventeen years, I've been writing since I was sixteen.

Hi John
I am currently at No 12 with my Mary's Magic Muffins & Other Tales for Children. I am looking for support of it to take me nearer the coveted ED. I return reads with an honest feedback. As I think it is best to be honest. I will be here for a long time and will support anyone who helps me make it to the desk. Thank you for taking the time to read this message.
Brian.

Oh whoa, Prunella Scales from "Fawlty Towers"?

"Oh I KNOW!!!" That's cool. I got several celebrity-ish guys to read and endorse one of my books before an agent even looked at it, through the magic of modern email. No luck with publishers anyway.

I say a lot of offensive stuff, so I don't like to use Googlable email...you should just upload it to Youtube, to be honest. You use Windows Movie Maker? It's really easy to put audio tracks onto static images, I've uploaded a lot of music stuff that way.

Hello John,
I am writing to tell you that it has been a wonderful experience to read your book. It was a real treat and the voice employed was impeccably British and it reminded me of the days when I lived in Britain and traveled across the country as a backpacker. I am especially intrigued by these kind of books.

P.S. I am a young writer in the process of writing my very first novel and somehow the essence of Britain is also reciprocated in my current work and it would be a real pleasure if you would visit it and give me your views.

Dear John, I have a children's animal adventures book on site and wondered if you would perhaps have time to look at some chapters and post a comment and if warranted a rating? I seem to be stuck in the 30's and have decided to take the bull by the horns and ask for help - if you can? Please forgive the shameless plug.
Kindest regards

P.S. If I somehow overlooked a promised read, please refresh my memory. I had illness in the family for a while, so I apologize if I neglegted a promise.

John,

We have a complete disconnect. I sent message inviting you to read Doghouse Blues and that I would be happy to read your work. You replied with which looks like standard thank you for reading your Dandruff book!! I haven't read it yet. Do you want to have another go at making a reply to my original message so we can get on with an exchange?

Regards,

Clivre

Hello John,

Hope you are well. Maybe you would like to try out my new satire, Doghouse Blues. Happy to reciprocate. Here is an endorsement:

I was attracted to Doghouse Blues from the pitch alone because it was so very different. There are so many budding writers out there who want to earn the same sort of money as J K Rowling by writing exactly the same kind of book and , to be frank, I am getting a bit tired of it.
This, on the other hand, struck me as being an original piece of work. The product of a lively mind and written by someone who is an excellent observer of the real world out there and who knows how to translate his observations into print. Just the right amount of dialogue, which carries the story along well.
I have not read the complete book (yet) but have dipped into it fairly freely to see if the momentum is maintained. It certainly is.
Philip John

Looking forward to reading your comments on the Doghouse Blues webpage.

All the best,

Clive

Hi John,
I've just checked now and found it arrived safely. And yes, it starts by a nice piano music, the narrator has a lovely warm voice. I'll listen to it as my bed time reading tonight.
Thank you very much!

Best wishes,
Ruko

Oh yes, 'A Prayer for Owen Meany' - amazing ending to a book! That book, of all the books I've read, influenced my writing of The Story Maker more than anything. The plotting is wonderful, and yes, soooo sad at the end! Abi

Hello, how are you today? :)

As we're almost at the end of the month, please allow me to introduce a middle grade book that you or your child might enjoy reading. It's a fun, simplistic read titled LEO & ROVER: THE PURPLE MARBLE ADVENTURES.

I hope you could find time to take a look. Many have enjoyed reading it, and I hope you do, too! My boys will appreciate all support: read, comment, rate, back the book.

I sincerely thank you for your time and hope the best for your book.


Cheers,
D

Hi,

Your book looks interesting and I was wondering if you would like to do a swap read.
