Author Nicola May visits (2019-10-13 16:29:56)

The meeting was addressed by a guest speaker, Nicola May, a friend of Lin’s, who is a self-published author based locally in Ascot.

Nicola gave a very entertaining, informative and candid talk about her journey to become an author. Having had considerable commercial success in recent years her latest novel has over 180,000 sales, making her the most successful self-published author in the UK (via Amazon) Nicola has been able to give up her job in PR to become a full time writer.

Nicola gave a very practical description of what she had needed to do to become successful, particularly the effort and marketing/negotiating strategies she has had to employ to earn a good income from her writing.
