PUBLISHING SOS

I don’t know if you remember me telling you about the children’s book I have written about a whale shark. I would be so grateful for any information on how to go about publishing it. If any of you know anything about publishing or if you know anyone who would be able to help me I would really appreciate it. Having never done anything quite like this before I want to know as much about the publishing world as I can before committing to one publisher. I have already had 2 offers but want to go with the absolute best!! Really the initial goal was to have as many children read the book as possible thereby spreading awareness far and wide. Initially I thought just for Kenya  but now I want children all over the world to read it! So if you can help me achieve this it would be wonderful!! It will also be a good way of raising funds for the trust (I hope!).

Volker and I are going away for a few weeks so we might not blog as much as we have been. Will stay in touch though and let you know of course if we get any data from Brent or any news about any of the other tags.

Thanks again for all your support!

Nimu,
I mentioned in a post before that I have published a children’s book before so would be happy to talk to you about this and help in anyway I can. Do write to us or give me a ring at the office and we talk it through.

Dipesh, you are amazing! I want to purchase a copy of this book when it is published, so I wish you luck Nimu with this wonderful project.

Thanks so much Dipesh - sorry for my dicey memory! Will get in touch pronto!

Go Nimu! And excellent work by David and Simon in tracking those two transmitters down!! We should have the stored secrets revealed in a couple of months.

And thanks Theresa for your support of EAWST and the project.

I’m at San Miguel Island off Southern California just now tagging elephant seal pups and trying to still shake off the jet lag of returning from Kenya……but already working on plans for our next research effort with Nimu and Volker, perhaps in November.

Keep on truckin’…

Hi Nimu,
the book sounds exciting. we have been running a very successful camapign in Gujarat India since 2004. many great acheivements since then, the most important being almost 37 whale sharks being rescued by the stake holders since then.
an information book or booklet is something we have been considering to spread awareness.
can you please forward a breif outline of the contents. this would help us explore possibilities.
regards
