Phat English on iTunes!

Phat English Listening CD1 has finally been accepted to be sold on iTunes. With that, and the fact that the Ebook is for sale as a digital copy through lulu, anyone can now have instant access to all that Phat English has to offer anywhere in the world.

This is particularly exciting for me as there has always been a demand for it as a product in Japan, but with the combined cost and delivery time associated with international shipping, getting it to customers has always been challenging.

Now Phat is ready to move forward full steam in Japan, and I look forward to seeing how well it can do.

On Self-Publishing...

Recently, I was contacted by Hall Houston, a University EFL teacher in Taiwan, and the author of Provoking Thought about doing a contribution to his blog about my experiences developing and self-publishing Phat English. I'm one of several authors who will be featured in the article, and he is writing it to contrast self-publishing with going through a major publisher, and the respective pros and cons of each. I'm also happy that he is giving me an opportunity to speak about Phat and hopefully continue to introduce it to people who haven't had a chance to see it and/or hear about it yet. Although I've already sent him my contribution, the it will be coming out sometime next month, and I'm really looking forward to reading the whole thing (in particular the experiences of other authors) then.
