Player Manager Is a Book
Added 2023-07-24 08:05:21 +0000 UTCHoly cow it's actually happening. IT'S HAPPENING.
My book is a book. It's available for pre-order, which I think used to be called 'order', on Amazon.
First thing to say is, you guys have supported me in a deeply astonishing way and you shouldn't feel you have to use your audible credits or whatever. Seriously. This is just for info and whatnot.
But if you're feeling over-the-top super supportive, the paperback will be available in the week of the 7th August. The idea is to get some reviews on that so there are some reviews on the 22nd when the ebook goes live. Do you have to buy the paperback to leave reviews there? I don't know. If you don't, tuck in!
(Just please don't give me a 1.5 star review saying 'there's too much player' or 'there's too much manager'. Which is still happening! Just got one last night!)
I went with Podium (He Who Fights With Monsters, Noobtown) as the audiobook dudes and they have a 'full-service' offer which takes care of the ebook too. I've seen the drafts and the tables look really nice. It should overall be clean and professional.
I haven't heard any of the audiobook. Not any! So I'm apprehensive but excited about that. The narrator, Luke, is from Liverpool so I'm expecting a killer Jackie. Can he get Max right? OMG why did I even think that I'm stressed now. Everyone involved is a trained professional, except me, so I do reckon it'll be top. It's tough being a control freak who can't control big aspects of the experience, but yeah.
Going with a publisher allowed me to focus on the writing, and I'm going to go back to that right now. Finishing touches to the latest chapter. Stand by for lunchtime. Whoo!
OH THEY UPDATED THE LISTING IT LOOKS NICE.
Help me break into the top 1,000 for Sports Fiction, yeah? It's all Twilight fan fic with quarterbacks instead of vampires.

Well I agree.

2023-07-24 10:46:58 +0000 UTCMe too! It's the only part I wrote thinking audiobook first, if you see what I mean. Mostly I think 'this won't work in audio format, ah forget it they'll just have to deal with it'.

2023-07-24 10:07:47 +0000 UTCGenuine review: and too much real life soccer stuff (yes I know it's a soccer book.....but I don't need thatttttttt much info about real life stats) pacing a bit slow because of too much soccer stuff

2023-07-24 10:07:39 +0000 UTCLove a paperback, but with the ebook I can read in bed and not bother my wife. My fave Pep quote is: "Tackles? What is tackles?"

2023-07-24 10:03:38 +0000 UTCYou’ve already got me excited for book 3+ when the poor audiobook reader gets to the “Charcoal Chicken” bit

2023-07-24 08:31:29 +0000 UTCCongrats! That's amazing. I am going to get the audiobook! Can I leave a review saying "there's too much football"?

2023-07-24 08:23:43 +0000 UTCAs Pep Guardiola once said: "It is either paperback or nothing. Ted knows my reason for wanting paperback. It's a super book." Congrats, mate! Nice to see it happen :)
