Hope you can make it ...

R.S.V.P. to Nod so she knows how many potatoes and bars of chocolate to buy. (Yes, it's a chocolatey sort of book!)

And if you can't make the launch, then feel more than free to purchase a book online in one or more of its various formats, all listed below.

... to experience her mother’s rather excellent potato curry.
Then she might read a bit from the book.
Maybe you can all do one of the fun exercises from the book together.
If you want to, wear red to match the cover.
If you really want to look like the book, attach a couple of spoons to your body!

... where she always worries someone will spill red wine on the stock, and there’s a ton of street parking at Nod's place, too. Plus, she has enough space for a fun launch. Nod's mates suggested a cooking demonstration, since there are actual recipes in the book, so guests will get ...

The book - a practical, fun, funny, how-to guide about writing, drafting, redrafting, editing, marketing, and getting your work published and out there to be read - will be launched at Nod's home. (Contact Nod for the address.) As Nod notes, a "home birth" is a lot less hassle than a bookshop launch

Do you live in or near Christchurch, New Zealand?

Will you be travelling there soon, and in the vicinity on Sunday 6th July, at 5.30pm?

If you are, then make a note in your travel diary, as Nod Ghosh will be launching her new book 'How to Bake a Book', at that very time on that very date.

“Who knew anyone could make rejection so appealing? You won’t be able to suppress a wry smile or even a guffaw as you read through the riotous reasons these cantankerous editors find to dis these hopeful Heaneys.”
~ Tanya Farrelly, author of ‘The Girl Behind the Lens’ and ‘When Black Dogs Sing’

It examines the poet / editor relationship through a darkly comic lens and, hopefully, reveals much truth in all its exaggerated humour, which there is plenty of.

‘Rejection Letters’, the new collection by Edward O’Dwyer, has now been released by Truth Serum Press, in paperback, ePub and Kindle. ‘Rejection Letters’ contains 100 letters by fictitious poetry editors to fictitious poets turning down, for varying reasons, their fictitious poetry submissions.
