We now have a name – The Royalties. I\u2019ve tried it on a few people, and they\u2019ve laughed at its cheekiness.<\/p>\n
But to become a dignified royal, I must become e competent, fast. Who can explain this arcane knowledge to me in words I can follow?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m used to researching, and ring around bothering people- though everyone seems intrigued and supportive, which comforts me because I\u2019m guilty about being so slack as not to have learned about e publishing already. I often feel guilt when I haven\u2019t got around to learning things. It must\u2019ve cut very deep in me, somewhere in my forgotten school days, when I didn\u2019t learn what I was supposed to learn for homework! Anyway,\u00a0 I soon stumble on one of Australia\u2019s e publishing experts, Kate Eltham, connected with the Queensland Writers Centre. I shyly ring and ask if she\u2019d fly to speak to our group (in Sydney), only to hear that she\u2019s going to be in Sydney soon to speak about e publishing on the very popular \u201cLast Tuesday Book Club\u201d. She\u2019ll make time for us. I\u2019m thrilled and very grateful.<\/p>\n
We sit in my office over cups of tea and biscuits and record her as all afternoon, she gives us an overview of where e publishing is up to. I find myself writing down acronyms I\u2019d never heard of, and like a child, constantly asking her to repeat that name and that name and that name- how had I dared say I was going to do this e publishing, without being seeped in this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
