Praise for Rosen Trevithick

"Brilliant."
- The Independent
(Re: 'The Troll Trap')
"Well if you're looking for something just a little bit different, this is that kind of book. It was like dipping a lolly into a bag of pop rocks, I was never sure where the author would take it next."
- Cheryl (Amazon Top 500 Reviewer)
(Re: 'Straight Out of University')
"The characters are engaging, the plot tightly woven with enough twists and turns to maintain momentum, and the book deals with important themes in a very sensitive and thought provoking manner. I particularly admired the language, which treads an admirably fine line between moments of humour and the serious consideration of themes such as mental illness."
- Alex Roddie (Author)
(Re: 'The Ice Marathon')
"This first thing I learned was that this is not a book to read on the bus, mainly because of all the times I caught myself laughing like an idiot every five minutes. The second thing I learned was just how great this book is."
- M. Cox (Amazon Reviewer)

Formatting Your POD Book - Some Tips

A number of indie authors are currently setting up print-on-demand (POD) titles. Here are a few tips from my own experiences. They relate to fiction writing.

  • The font face Georgia at size 11pt is clear and professional looking, for books aimed adults.
  • You won't need any additional line spacing unless you're writing for children.
  • Don't leave space between your paragraphs.
  • 8mm is a decent paragraph indent.
  • Do not indent the first paragraph in each chapter or the first paragraph after a starred break.
  • It it customary for chapters to start on a right hand page.
  • Downloading a template from your chosen POD service will save you a lot of time.
  • If you upload a PDF instead of a Word document, you will have much more control over the final layout.
  • FeedARead is the most professional POD site I've tried, but CreateSpace is cheaper. See discussion on POD services.
