Citizens of Islington head down to your local @Waterstones for a copy of @gralefrit magnificent book!
I took inspiration from @GalleyBeggars' brilliant article on the economics of publishing, to throw around some (very rough) numbers on touring/events. Honestly, I'd say I've been pretty conservative in the costs listed - but would love to hear thoughts from other publicists.

I have a short piece in Uncut where Willy Vlautin talks about his new novel, The Horse. I recommend it - his writing has such a strong sense of place. Willy told me he used to read Richard Ford, Raymond Carver - it made sense. It’s all about luck.
Interesting read.
Le Caveau de la Bolée, rue de l'Hirondelle, Paris. 1925. One of dozens of nightclubs in that era sited in a cellar. This was based in the cellar of a 14th century Abbey. Baudelaire, and Paul Verlaine both got wasted here. Later called La Venus Noire. Now closed #LifeAfterDark
The book is about a countdown so I must flag that there are 318 minutes left to get Killing Thatcher for 99p in a Kindle Daily Deal.

This has made me think a lot about event economics - as I think those numbers may surprise people too. I don't have time to do a full breakdown, but on a very back-of-the-envelope level, an author coming from say London to Manchester for a bookshop event might look as follows:
