Announcements

Now that my book is seemingly starting to reach peoples’ bookshelves, I wanted to quickly reinforce one key point I make in the opening section regarding how I want people to use this book.

Yesterday, I was alerted to how out of date my collection of visualisation (and related) books was over on my references page so I have just been through my memory banks to add as many titles as I can recall have been released over the past couple of years since I last tended to this list of suggested readings.

Pricing is a dark art. Even after five years of being a freelancer I am constantly refining, revising and researching the best ways to approach pricing my different services in a way that hits the sweet-spot, balancing value for money for the spender and viable levels of revenue for my business.

Today I am delighted to share details of a new special section of my website. The purpose of this site is to provide a wide range of companion resources to supplement the learning on offer in my newly published book.

A rather nice last-day-before-holidays package has just arrived at my door: the first pair of copies of my book straight off the printing press!

Almost two years since the proposal was approved, last Friday, I finally completed the process of developing my new book. The relief and joy was expressed via a piece of impromptu early morning poetry.

This week, I have been running a poll for readers to help decide the outcome of my third and final creative competition to win a copy of my book, namely the #BookShopped contest. The voting closed at 3PM UK time and I am delighted to announce…

Two weeks ago I launched the third and final creative contest to win a copy of my book. The theme of this challenge was #BookShopped, inviting people to creatively incorporate an image of my book cover into a famous movie scene.

Over the past two months I have held contests (1 #Graphiti, 2 #BestWorstViz) for successful participants to win a free copy of my book when it is released in June. I was really impressed with the creativity exhibited in both these contests and so I am launching a third, and final, challenge.

A couple of weeks ago I launched a second contest inviting people to send me examples of their best worst visualisation work. It had to be their work, though, not just submissions of bad visualisations they’ve seen elsewhere.
