It's about the experiences of a group of steelworkers as they hurtle towards redundancy. It's gritty, funny and thought provoking according to one of my reviews which I used in the blurb. I might give it its own thread on here but I'm not sure that's allowed? Anyway it's no expensive, only £2.49 so it's not gonna break the bank 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway it's no expensive, only £2.49 so it's not gonna break the bank 😉 Good luck. Couple of wee typos in the description though: Steelmen tells the hitherto untold story of Ravenscraig, stripped of romanticism, the real story of the dirt, the danger, the hard-drinking, the camaraderie and the triumph and tradgey that engulfed all of the men who worked there, none of whom were left untouched by their experiences in the giant plant affectionalty known by locals as "The Craig" Missing full stop at the end as well. Apologies for nit-picking but things like that irritate me in a professional product! Love the cover, really dark and foreboding. Bought a copy anyway. Hopefully get time to read it in the coming weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed you could go into your account and change whatever you want. Maybe they need to approve it first? Might be a good idea to bold and highlight bits of your description as well.

Have you got any local papers or that to give it a bit of publicity ?Or in steelwork areas around the UK who could identify with it ? Its a good price and you could get a few sales whilst everyone is at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Och Aye Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Good luck Slasher. Should do well here in Motherwell. My uncle appeared in the Daily Record in a quite spectacular picture iin front of molten steel being poured when he worked in the 'Craig. A few interesting items were allegedly disposed of in those furnaces. Any promotional stuff you can put on here so we can share on Facebook, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's early days but it's basically me and a few friends trying to market it. Its not going to make a lot of money, it was never really about that.(although it would be nice 🤣) I think it's a good story and I'd like to spread it before it dies out.

There will definitely be some paperbacks for those who want them, just no sure when m8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've set up a twitter page for it as well @steelmen1852020. It's a full time job this marketing lark tho. In between trying to make sure my old boys alright and painting my fence panels ma phone is buzzing away all the time!
