The only thing I love more than writing is wandering around bookshops, and the only thing I love more than wandering around bookshops is reading books. So it was only a matter of time before I launched a newsletter covering all those pursuits.
I originally envisaged Terry Freedman's Books Bulletin as simply a means of keeping anyone who was interested up-to-date with my book writing activities. However, I realised that it would also be a useful vehicle for sharing news of any interesting-sounding books I come across, and any interesting bookshops I wander around in.
It's going to be a monthly publication, at least initially. The first issue, which you can access by clicking on the picture at the top of this page, contains the following articles:
- Welcome to this Bulletin
- Review: Waterhouse on Newspaper Style
- Books I've come across
- Bookshops I like: Hatchards
- Progress report (about the book I'm working on)
The next issue will, I hope, include details of how to grab hold of a sample chapter of my (by then) completed book, and how to get the chance to have a free review copy.
If you'd like to subscribe to the Bulletin, please check the Privacy policy for information about how we treat your data. If you don't feel like reading that, the long and short of it is that we keep your data secure, we don't sell it or give it away, and we don't keep it longer than necessary. We don't go in for spam either. The signing up process involves confirming that you really do wish to receive the Bulletin, ie it's what is known as a 'double opt-in' process. You can unsubscribe at any time.
