‘The Hunting of the Boojum’ is a nonsensical sequel to Lewis Carroll’s nonsense poem, ‘The Hunting of the Snark’. The Hunting of the Snark has fascinated me since university days when it was scrupulously read once a term at the termly Snark Club Dinner. In the Hunting of the Snark, a crew of ten unlikely […]

‘A Theory of Everything’ Things I Wish I’d Known at Your Age. By Jonathan R. Tuck
I started writing ‘A Theory of Everything’ in 2017 after attending a workshop hosted by Dr. Linda Mallory, which addressed parents of children diagnosed with ‘ADHD’. The sessions were so powerful that they unleashed an avalanche of information and knowledge derived from my personal experience and intensive research over the previous 20 years, and culminated in […]
‘Ramblings (about poems)’ by Paul Luke.
In 2019, my daughter and I were enjoying a beer in a bar near her flat in Berlin. I was prattling on about poetry, W.B. Yeats, I think. She then asked me to recommend a book of poetry. I failed. She really wanted some sort of anthology and I knew of none, apart from the […]
‘Moishe’s Story’ by Martin Younger blog
This is my first ever blog – never mind self-publishing! It’s easy to self-publish; all you have to do is go online, pick a program, upload your raw material, and then you’ve got your book! The reality is different; I had CDs that my Father recorded – but wait a minute – they’ve got to […]
‘Electrodynamic Waves’ by Brian Whittaker
This is my first privately published book. Previously as a career scientist I authored or co-authored many scientific papers that were published in leading science journals, or published in the form of unclassified internal reports available from H.M. Stationary Office. I also contributed to two textbooks. The publication process was very easy, I merely handed […]
‘Imagining Eden’ Blog Post by Adrian Bean
One sunny day in 2014 I was planting some daffodil bulbs at the unmarked grave of God’s granddaughter Dilys, when I decided to take a friend’s advice: write about the strange world that the unfortunate woman had lived in a century before …but how? Her world had been that of the Panacea Society, a mostly […]
‘They Slipped Away’ blog post by Sue Deans
Recently I realised a dream I have had since childhood – to be a writer. With the help of SPP I produced a small volume of poems entitled “They Slipped Away”. Most of the poems were written in the last 20 years, while a few date back to the 90s. They cover many topics, from […]
‘The Remarkable Journey of Mr Prins: WWII, Jewish Refugees and the Bath-Alkmaar Friendship’ by Aletta Stevens
Yes, you CAN self-publish in a crisis! This is my second book and my first self-published book. The reason for choosing to self-publish was that I was on a tight schedule to get this book out for VE Day to commemorate 75 years since the end of WWII. I did not have time to approach […]
‘Rosie’s Gift’ by Beverley Joughin-Robson
This is the second book I have had published by Self-Publishing Partnership. My first book was a collection of poems called, ‘Life’s Journey through Poetry.’ This is my first novel. Written from a selection of memories, my mother’s, some from my childhood and some as a parent, I have thoroughly enjoyed writing it. Through some […]
‘Wildlife Encounters-Southern Seas and Shores’ by Nicolette Scourse
“This is my fourth book – my second with SPP. It is hard to describe the joy and satisfaction of first seeing and handling the beautiful cover, which encapsulates the soul of the book. Then opening, flipping through the pages that please – to see well placed drawings aligned to their accompanying text, sustaining interest, […]
