Celandor Books

Hi! Climbing Mountains is now available to buy from Amazon’s Kindle store as an e-book.

A quick way to get hold of a copy is to go to the Celandor Books website where it is advertised on the home page. www.celandor.co.uk

Treat yourself to one, you know you want to! (And all profits go to support the Literature Project).

The book launch of Climbing Mountains was a big success! (knew it would be as Glen Jarvis arranged it   )

We expected a large turnout so it was by invitation only and the room was full.
Waterstones, Nottingham, allowed us the free use of their Sillitoe Room to hold the event in. We can’t thank the Regional Events Manager, Shane Maxwell-Atkin, enough for all the support he gave us.

We also want to thank local authors Jon McGregor and Nicola Monaghan who both spoke at the launch. Their support throughout the project has been fantastic.

Their talks were followed by Paula Torres-Silva, the editor, who explained how the book came about and the process by which she collected and transcribed the stories that were used.

Glen Jarvis from the Nottingham Crime and Drug Partnership (who supplied funding) then interviewed three of the authors. This was extremely well received by the audience. Lastly I (Mac McGuckin) talked about the Climbing Mountains Literature Project and introduced my two fellow trustees – Paula Torres-Silva and Katy Follows.

The audience then mingled and chatted for half an hour and finished off the pre-launch buffet that Glen had arranged. Feedback from everyone was very positive.

Finally I want to thank Maureen Black for sorting out all the administration for the event and staffing the sign-in desk.

Actually my final thanks go to all who have supported the project and to those who turned up on the day. You are all BRILLIANT!

Thank you.

We are holding a book launch for our new book, Climbing Mountains, at Waterstone’s Book Store in Nottingham on Friday 30th and I’m really looking forward to it. The book is an anthology of work by local writers and several will be in attendance as well as acclaimed local authors Jon McGregor and Nicola Monaghan who both gave their support to the endeavour.

Unfortunately the event is limited by number and we have already allocated all of the tickets….

So I’m telling you about a book launch which is fully booked for a book that has already sold out due to pre-publication orders. Why would I do that???? Because I’m proud as anything about it, that’s why! And delighted for all who were involved!

We intend to release it as an e-book on the day of the launch (or soon after) and copies will be advertised on our site www.celandor.co.uk . I’ll let you know how it all goes.

Oh, by the way – if anyone is interested in buying a paperback version if you drop me a quick note via the website I can see what demand is like and once it looks high enough we’ll do another run. (p.s. I won’t hold you to it should you change your mind later!)

Kind regards,

Mac, Celandor Books
