Blog posts and videos

Simon regularly posts articles/blog posts on LinkedIn with hints and tips on writing and releasing your books - connect at: linkedin.com/in/SimonPittman 

You can find a selection of previous blog posts (plus some short videos) on our Blog Posts & Videos page!

While Books & Networking is about the books you read, a number of people are interested in writing and releasing their own book!

Book Writing Workshop

There are currently no plans for any further workshops.

The workshop on Tuesday 20th September 2022 was a one-off event, so unless someone hires Simon to organise a workshop for their business/clients, there are no plans for any further workshops.

10+ years experience of writing and self publishing!

Author of 7 non-fiction books (10 books if you include updated editions of previous books!)

Simon has written and self published books since 2013 - and will share his experiences, skills and knowledge he has gained over 10 years.

Unlike a lot of the videos you find on the Internet, Simon will actually show you his own books (and what's worked for him), there's no affiliate links, and no false promises.

We can NOT help with: editing/proofreading, do all the work for you, copywriting, ghostwriting, or low content books. However, if you'd like help with any of these, we may be able to introduce you to people who can help!

Unfortunately we can't upload your book, covers, etc. to self publishing platforms for you (this is against their terms and conditions!) - although we are happy to provide advice on the steps, etc.
