I'm published in a book! Typewriter Art: A Modern Anthology by Barrie Tullett, Laurence King Publishing

The title of this post pretty much says it all but I'm still over the moon that I'm featured in a book put together by my former University Lecturer, Barrie Tullett. 

Last year I received an email asking if I'd like to be in the book, and of course I felt extremely honoured to be asked. After a few problems with knowing if it could be featured or not, I received confirmation that it would in fact be published in the book in May 2014. 

Lo and behold, I bought the book from Laurence King Publishing and was over the moon when it arrived - just in time for the beautiful bank holiday!

So here we are, the book I'm featured in by Barrie Tullett...

(If you are interested in buying the book, buy it directly from Laurence King Publishing as then the lovely author receives royalties.)

Nice one. So chuffed!

Tues 22 April 2014 - The Metro - Barrie Tullett 'A Modern Anthology of Typewriter Art'

So on Tuesday, it was the first day back to work after a long bank holiday weekend. The tube and overground lines were playing up. As if getting up at 6:30am wasn't hard enough I had to take an alternative route into work.

However, I was soon smiling when I was reading the Metro on my phone and I saw a name that I recognised, my former university tutor, Barrie Tullett.

He was featured in the Metro because he's complied a book named 'A Modern Anthology of Typewriter Art' and I extremely honoured to say that I'm featured in this book which is going to be published by Laurence King Publishing which is released next month.

An Anthology of Typewriter Art by Barrie Tullet (2)

In a previous post which you can read here I talked about the book in the making 'An Anthology of Typewrite Art by Barrie Tullet' which I have been selected to be featured in.

Well, I literally (and very belatedly) found this post that Barrie himself wrote on his blog on The Caseroom Press, which you can read by clicking the link below here.

Have a little read about his beginnings of the book ~

Am I going to be published?! ... An Anthology of Typewriter Art by Barrie Tullet

I was thrilled to recieve an email yesterday from my former Graphic Design tutor, Barrie. I received an email a few months ago asking if my work can be featured in his book 'An Anthology of Typewriter Art'. Of course, I was over the moon and sent my work across.

Then a few weeks later I received an email saying the copyright might not be cleared for the extract of text that I used from the book and they were waiting for confirmation from the publishers. It didn't look too good.

But behold! Yesterday the copyright was cleared and I will now be definitely featured in the book. 
The print run will be approximately 10,000 and it's expected to be published in April 2014 by Laurence King Publishing 'now recognised as one of the world's leading publishers of books on the creative arts.' 

I'm absolutely thrilled to bits and so honoured to be asked to be a part of it.

I won't give away the photograph of the typographic piece I created because I don't want to spoil the surprise ;)
