A Short History of the Book

Something happened to me back in 2012. Instead of writing blog posts, as I primarily did back then, I was overcome by a strange urge to write something longer.

I’d always been a fiction reader, I was already a writer of some description, and so you could say it was simply a matter of time before I knuckled down to the task of writing a novel.

The first draft of this novel was written on an A4 notepad, using a ball-point pen. Am I joking? I wish I was.

After spending a few weeks recovering from the hard work and trauma of it all, I edited the story again. Shortly after this, I edited it again. Then I edited it again. Then I edited it again, and then one more time for good luck. If my rudimentary skills in mathematics serve me correctly, I believe that’s seven edits.

After spending a few more weeks recovering from the hard work and trauma of it all, I did a very strange thing: I hired an editor to edit the story again (with the aid of a calculator, I’ve just worked out that this adds up to eight edits).

Conservation was my introduction to the world of publishing, and although I felt excited about what this new world
