Richard The Third - finishing that colour edition

Having taken a few weeks off while I got busy with a billion trillion visits to schools doing my classes, I'm now back at the desk finishing off the colouring of Richard The Third, ready to get the full colour edition out and printed and on sale.

Today I coloured up to page 131, including the iconic "Kingdom For A Horse" pages. Most satisfying. You'll find my blog worksheet for the rest of the pages in the book here.

As for progress towards an actual finished book, continue to watch this space

Tues March 18th: Completed the colouring, uploaded and published the book on Lulu. Publishing to to D2D is proving harder as I think they struggle with big colour books. (I am remembering Tales From The Bible has never finished uploading to D2D and has only ever been up there in ebook form).

I've ordered my first half dozen copies from Lulu and, if they look okay, I can get them for just under £7 a copy (it'll vary depending on discounts). So I can sell it for £10.99 and make the same profit as the black and white edition. Let us see if this finds buyers over the summer.

Richard The Third Colour Edition is available for you to buy now direct from Lulu. Their price is £16.97. (All going well you'll be able to get them chepaer, and signed by me, very soon. But if you want to be the first with a copy in your hand - go for it!)

Things it would have been great to have been told in advance: D2D doesn't do colour.

This won't affect most of you, but if you're trying to publish graphic novels using D2D Print, after two hours of struggling to upload my latest (Richard The Third, Colour Edition) I finally get this pop up on my screen. So now I know.

Richard The Third Colour Edition, printed by Lulu then, will be on sale wherever you see me and my books. Direct from Lulu now, or from me by the end of the month.

Sat March 29th: I return home from a class in Chorley to find 6 copies of Richard The Third, full colour edition, waiting for me. (Ordered 18 March, so 11 days to arrive, £6.85 per book inc postage). They look amazing and will go on sale at my next live event. Let's see if colour books for £10.99 beat black and white books at £7.99. New game on.
