As an expat writer for 21 years, during this time I have written and published almost 20 books, some the traditional route with mainstream publishers, some using POD technology, become a publisher, printed litho runs of 2000 at a time. I’ve tried it all, and you know, Anastasia, I believe there is a time and a place for each kind of publishing. When you want a ‘worldwide rave’ and a global market then digital is the way to go, but when you have a focused product with a clear local market, sometimes the trad route wins. When I was in Oman in 1995 Sue Valentine and I wrote and published a cookbook on Dates. We sold thousands and thousands in our local community, so printing litho in long runs made financial and quality sense. Last year Dates was published by Zodiac, who focus on the Middle East market. It made sense. Sue and I are back in Europe, we can’t do the footwork. There are more palm trees in the Middle East, so it made sense. Yet my Career in Your Suitcase book, has a global market – for anyone wanting to create and maintain a portable career. So this time it’s done digitally and sold mainly online via Amazon. There is no doubt that the digital age is a boon to writers, particularly those like you, me and Robin Pascoe who do this for a living, but I do believe there are horses for courses.

Breaking into the traditional publishing industry can add a tremendous pressure on any expat writer, weighed down already by the huge task of writing a book in the first place. It’s good to know that there are alternative means of entering it developing now, some of which may well outdo traditional publishing in time.
