Book serialisation starts tomorrow in the Daily Mail
All available channels Maybe I’m getting slightly delusional, but the whole process of getting a book successfully over the line and into the public domain seems closer to attempting alchemy than the simple business of putting something on sale and hoping people buy it.

Interim payments imminent The biggest news is…
