Indie Spotlight is our monthly column on self-publishing. This month
our regular columnist, Siobhan Daiko, who is herself an indie author, interviews
her UK-based editor, John Hudspith, about his work.
As well as editing manuscripts, John also offers advice on such topics
as overcoming writer’s block, creating an epic, and the eBook eruption - he is
a one-man, one-stop service for indie authors wherever they live. Meanwhile, he too is an indie author. His first novel, Kimi's Secret won a highly coveted YouWriteOn book of the year
award in 2013. The second novel in his Kimi series, Kimi’s Fear, is out now.
Sue Guiney is the British-based
American founder of Writing Through, a charity working with children in
Cambodia to promote conceptual thought and self-esteem, through the teaching of
creative writing. Instruction is in English, so classes also help
students develop fluency in a language that opens doors otherwise closed to them.
Sue is also
a poet, and a novelist. Her novels explore
modern-day Cambodia. I met her in
Singapore, to discuss both her philanthropy, and her writing.
William L.Gibson, author of Singapore Yellow, the second novel in his Detective Hawksworth Trilogy, has written his own account of our recent shared book launch, you can check out his version here.
