Writing may be a solitary act, but publishing is a team effort, and thanks to the talented people at Elliott & Thompson my unruly manuscript has become a beautiful book.
The original plan was to write a fairly conventional and accessible survey of British art up to the present day. But I came to realise a far more interesting story was to be found in tracing the origins of British art.
There was a moment of demented euphoria when I deleted tens of thousands of words and started again. The most useful part of my writing day was...the morning shower.
Fellow authors will know how a book can take over your life; mentally, it involves creating a parallel world which only you can inhabit until it is finished.
