How Publishing Works

Hello Poetry Lovers

Very excited to announce my poetry Pamphlet Slummy Mummy is due out on 29th May.

But first, let me explain to you how publishing actually works

I bribe – I mean, send Dobby to take my manuscript to a prestigious publishing house. And Dobby knew just the one!

In a suburb of Feltham, Dobby hammers on their door and waits patiently..

Dobby’s persistence pays off as the iconic publisher Julie Slagg personally answers her call.

Julie went back to bed but entrusted her latest YTS employee to read through Slummy Mummy – who was extremely excited about it!

Of course, these things never run smoothly and I had to step in to ensure the publishing deal was set.

And the rest, as they say, is history. Or it will be by 29th May! Amazon, a tiny family run subsidiary of Julie Slagg’s will release it then. (what takes them so long??!!).

But the real mastermind behind the Slagg empire is talented poet and mentor, Phil Porter. Thank you so much, Phil.

Phil has a fascinating new book out himself, I highly recommend it.

Here is Phil’s link https://utopianfool.co.uk. Treat yourself to a copy.

To pre-order a copy of Slummy Mummy, go to this corner shop called Amazon…

Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. Keep watching for details of the launch party at the Slagg’s Cafe (where else would it be?!).
