Praise for Rosen Trevithick

"Brilliant."
- The Independent
(Re: 'The Troll Trap')
"You can tell that Ms Trevithick was a fan of Roald Dahl when she was growing up. The stinky trolls in this story are reminiscent of the giants in The BFG and, if possible, even more revolting. Her strong authorial voice and witty prose will appeal to parents as much as children; I caught myself chortling out loud at least every other page."
- Rebecca Davies (The Independent)
(Re: 'The Troll Trap')
"It is that famous sarcastic, British wit that I could eat all day. London, the Doggy and Me is simply another winner."
- N. Blackburn
(Re: 'London, the Doggy and Me')
"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')

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.
