Podcast on books on illness
The Guardian is doing a podcast tomorrow on books on illness and wants to hear from you about books you have enjoyed. Please tell them about The State of Me!
Ah, am not registered on twitter so maybe thats why link didn't work. Thanks so much for all your links, managed to find her email address and mentioned your book that way.
Thanks, both, so much for the support and Kate for going to the trouble of emailing Guardian Books - I thought you would be able to see the tweet link okay even if you couldn't actually reply to it... I doubt my novel will be discussed unless they can nab someone 'important' who has read it, but it is great to get the book on the radar of the book world as it is currently known mainly to the ME world. It was not reviewed by any of the mainstream literary reviewers when it came out and I suspect that may have to do with the chaos following the liquidation of TFP. We need to get the message out that it is well worth reading even if you are not ill with ME! Thanks again, to those who tweeted too, your support much appreciated. I am not v. good at promoting the book outside ME circles, not through lack of confidence, I know the book's good, I just feel uneasy blowing my own trumpet but maybe I need to be more bolshie.
Am just off to bed and caught this, are you on twitter, what is your twitter name, I will follow! Thanks for tweeting for me, I know you are not in a good spell just now, Alison.

I wrote a tweet but I think I might be too late. Either way I hope it will be an interesting podcast.
