Introducing M-Y Books

If you are an author or small publisher M-Y books can help you. We are a team of specialised and experienced people with a love of books and literature and a mission to give every possible chance to new or unknown authors and their work.

Let’s say you have a book that has been the work of many years and you have had it published or printed. 'How do I market and promote it?' you ask yourself! By working with us at M-Y Books you can give your book an improved chance, on a realistic budget, of being written about, talked about and ultimately read.

M-Y Books can also help if you are a publishing company that produces people's work. You can join forces with M-Y Books and make sure that your clients get a marketplace for their writing once it's published.

M-Y Books can give you a two-tiered system that can give your work or the work of your clients the exposure they need to get to the book buying public.

We offer a fully accounted service.

Music man has a way with words

13 December 2007

MUSIC man Kev Saunders, the music director at Hertford Marquee, also has a talent for words.

Local Hertford haunts The Salisbury Arms and Baroosh were the two main locations where Kev set about writing his debut novel.

Entitled Wotcha!, the book was launched with a party on Saturday, December 15, at the Hertford Marquee.

The celebrations continued at No. 11, Old Cross in Hertford, where DJ Kev Saunders himself was joined by DJ Charly Rogers to play 70s, 80s and 90s pop, dance and rock anthems.

Wotcha! is Kev's first published novel but the Hertford DJ has already seen several articles in print. He also wrote a short film comedy titled BUST which was featured on Stephen Fry's Shorts series.

A busy man, Kev also manages to be music director of Hertford Music Festival, Rock at the Castle and Strum City, as well as the Marquee.

Wotcha! is pulls no punches with explicit language. The book explores voyeurism, rock star lifestyles and a global surveillance network called the Daisy Chain.

The book is described as "a comic spit in the eye of born again zealots with a wink and a twinkle to the rest of us - but it's also deadly serious."

The back of the book reads: "Mining a rich seam of coal-black humour and sex, drugs and rock and roll, it starts on a bitter-sweet nostalgia trip and builds up to the pace of a thriller."

Published by M-Y Books, Wotcha! costs £9.99, from the Hertford Marquee, Books @ Hertford, Books @ Hoddesdon and online from Amazon.
