Eoin, is there no justice at all?
What do you hope to do workwise, (in an ideal world?)
Back into publishing or something related , or have you a new course in mind?

Eoin,

My mobile phone was stolen, so I couldn’t contact you. That led to an inordinate gap in contact. I was gob-smacked when I rang Mercier hoping to reach you, and heard the news from MD.

I was in shock during the rest of the conversation, so I’ll have to hope my notes are good enough to follow up on what transpired.

Like so many others, I feel sure you’ll turn this to your advantage. I’ll certainly try to get my head around how I could be useful to you.

Now I’ll have to travel to Dublin to coffee with you. Ring me when it suits you…

Fond best wishes,
Paul

Hi Eoin,

I read your blog and find it very interesting, as you cover so many aspects of publishing I always learn something new. So I was very surprised to hear your news, and am sure you will be posting up some good news soon! Hope to meet you again one day (I met you at Mercier a couple of years ago)

Kind Regards, Eleanor

Eoin–
I wonder how scribd and the other up and coming e-book servers are vetting/selecting work and projects and if they provide services to authors?

Writer’s Relief is in the US and helps writers find places to publish their work for a fee. I wonder if all your experience and connections would place you at the center of this kind of web?

Thanks Lee!

I certainly hope to put that experience to good use!
I’d like to experiment some with digital and see what happens!

Likewise Eoin, sorry to hear that. I did have an idea and sent you an email but often fear the inevitable spam box so just in case you did not get that letting you know here, otherwise no bother.
