Spinetinglers Anthology 2008
Now to bring you all up to date with whats been happening with the Spinetinglers Anthology 2008. Some of you may have noticed that the anthology is listed on online book shops such as Amazon but there is a note saying that it is out of stock.
Hardback Edition
The reason for this is that when we received the proofs of the books we decided that the cover did not meet our exacting Spiney standards! As a result we asked the lovely and talented
Colleen (our graphics designer) to re-work the cover. This she did several times and we're now very happy with the cover. As a result the
Spinetinglers Anthology 2008 will be back in stock in the near future and we will start sending out the copies to everyone who has a story included in the Anthology.
If any of you would like to order a copy of the
Spinetinglers Anthology 2008 from us please get in touch with me (Jodi) at
info@spinetinglers.co.uk as we will be able to offer the books at a discounted price to all of you.
Paperback Edition
As a further note regarding the Spinetinglers Anthology, our founding member,
Nolene-Patricia Dougan has asked me to make a special point of stating that she did not edit the anthology - even though she is listed as the editor on Amazon.
Nolene wrote the foreword to the anthology. We have contacted them and been told that they understand this but they require a single name for their listing information. They also stated that it would be unfair to select a single author to be credited and for this reason along with the fact that
Nolene wrote the foreword made them choose to use her name for their listings. We did have a choice of selecting the word
Various to be used as the author name but it was very clearly demonstrated to us that this would put the Anthology at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to booksellers opting to stock it as well as causing it to be passed over by potential buyers.
Nolene has told me that she will be writing a review of the book and publishing it on the various sites - explaining that she is not the author but instead wrote the foreword.
