There are some things I’ve never even dreamed I’d do. One of those is editing someone else’s work. But a friend recently asked me to help him edit his book of eclectic poetry for publish and I found myself confidently saying yes.
The definition of editing is:
[to] prepare (written material) for publication by correcting, condensing, or otherwise modifying it. Dictionary via Google UK, 05/04/2024.
So I guess as well as being a Writer, Author & Blogger I’m also an Editor now.
Write soon,

Yesterday my first hardback edition of Ways The Human Body Can Go Wrong arrived. Isn’t it pretty:
I’m currently giving away some copies of this book, see here for further details.
Write soon,

The issue all authors have is reaching their audience. I believe every book has an audience and it is the authors job to find the audience for their book(s). There’s a lot written about using social media to help an author find their book’s audience, but I have come to feel that this is really only good for family and friends.
My latest two books haven’t done well sales wise, despite being great books, each in the own way.
So I have decided to run an advertising campaign on Amazon for 1 month for my health-related books: Ways The Human Body Can Go Wrong, The Alcohol Therapy Workbook and Mental Health Wisdom.
I’m also looking into another project with My Royal Navy Friend, but I can’t share details about this right now.
My Best Wishes,
Antony
Antony Simpson - Author, Blogger, Nurse & Witch.
Author of five books:
Ways The Human Body Can Go Wrong covers every system of the body, what can go wrong when the body malfunctions or fails, symptoms (including why these happen) and cures/treatments available.
It includes knowledge around essential skills for Clinical Excellence such as Assessment, All Age Observational Norms, Models of Care, Communication/Handover Tips, the role of Specialities, Medication Tips, Dealing with Errors, Documentation Advice and a list of Useful Resources.
It is written in plain English, but highlights important medical terminology. It has been written at a level where someone from a non-medical background can pick it up and learn, but that it is still valuable to those with significant Clinical Experience.
These emails were on a variety of topics, always being entertaining, sometimes being interesting, sometimes funny and occasionally being serious.

This workbook has been designed for anyone that is struggling with alcohol or has struggled with alcohol in the past.
It is written in a Motivational Interviewing style, one of the key therapies used to support people with alcohol issues. It has been designed using a trauma-informed approach and is strength–based.
What you will find in this book is more than just worksheets about alcohol. You’ll find all the tools someone needs to get into recovery from alcohol and stay there. It’s a therapy-based book, not an alcohol-based book.
