Two of my former students have decided to set themselves up
as publishers. They want to publish a collection of short stories. I’ve given
them quite a bit of advice as a publisher and they’re now going ahead.
Except that there was a sudden wobble.
Could they edit? They asked me for help but between duties
for the university, my own writing and the editing duties I have for the
various publishers with whom I work I don’t really have a lot of time. However,
I have offered them a two hour tutorial – that will happen tomorrow. So as I
have to get something ready for them I may as well share it more widely.
