Talkbackers talk about self-publishing an ebook
In a three part series, three authors talk candidly about their writing journeys, experiences and their strategies for self-publishing an ebook.
Covering three different markets, my first post is from Shirley Elmokadem (Kateyanne), author of Body Trapped, a YA novel.

This three part series will run for two weeks and I'll post the following two interviews at consecutive intervals.

How exotic that you lived in Cairo for a year. I actually thought it was a very crowded, noisy place (but not in a London kind of way).
Thanks. Yes Cairo is noisy, smelly and crowded but I love it. The people are so friendly.
But then again, I love foreign cultures and languages and I've always loved Egyptian history as a child - the pyramids, the Pharaohs, the mummies. And they were so advanced for such an old civilization. Always wanted to learn how to read hieroglyphics.
Have just done so. Interesting interview - I didn't know you'd written several books, Kateyanne - always thought of you exclusively as a poet.
Very best of luck with Body Trapped.

The post has been amended to include Katie's competition to win a free copy of Treespeaker.
