My book Drystone – A Life Rebuilt is out in just three weeks.

I really believe in this book. It’s honest about important things, quietly subversive, funny, easy to read, and I’ve poured everything into writing it and getting it into the world as far as I can.

If you can, I’d love your help. A share, a preorder, a message to someone who might love it, it all makes a difference.

@kristiedegaris I saw you got a nice blurb in The (UK) Times.

@kimlockhartga the two ex husbands piece?

@kristiedegaris uh. I don't know what that reference means, so maybe no? It was this one:

@kimlockhartga ohhhhh yes! They did a giveaway of my book off the back of this article I wrote for them, which is what I was referencing! It's a nice endorsement for sure!

@kristiedegaris oh okay. Now I get it! I'm having serious comprehension struggles this morning, so I appreciate your explaining.

Do you have any trade or media reviews of the book? I couldn't find any in my search.

@kimlockhartga not yet as it's not out, and that's usually when reviews happen or certainly even closer to release. I'd say the end of this month, the beginning of August, and beyond for reviews.

@kimlockhartga And reviews are coveted, it's quite hard to get them tbh. But there are definitely some coming out in Scottish publications.

@kristiedegaris this is exciting! Are you doing all of the promotion yourself or is the publisher pitching in, too, as much as they can?
Show threadKristieJul 15
@kimlockhartga My publisher is pitching in, but most publishing efforts come very close to launch or after. Generally, though, it's on authors. Publishing is very overstretched. By its own making, but still.

@kristiedegaris sound analysis.
