Exciting Day – my Book Arrived!

Writing a second book has felt quite different from the first time round.  The first one developed out of my PhD, so I had my supervisor supporting me as I wrote the original thesis.

Going Solo

But this one? All my own, unsupervised work, arising originally from the thought that someone really ought to write a book about the music published by Scottish publishers in the late Victorian era and the early twentieth century.  No-one had written one, so I researched and wrote it myself. I was grateful for my peer-reviewers’ feedback on the first draft, and I know that the final product benefited from the subsequent edits that I made during my Ketelbey Fellowship at St Andrews.  

This time, I did my own indexing, too.  That was a new experience for me.

Now, to start planning a book launch! Watch this space – I have an idea. Provisional date Monday 11th November, but the details have yet to be finalised!
