Poll: It Matters British Travel Guide Anyone?

27/9/2014

9 Comments

 
Camden Town - It Matters' Matt's favourite shopping 'hoodCamden Town, where
Matt likes to shop.
Currently in Britain, Orangepunch is musing over the places that she wishes to visit.

"Naturally," she said, only partly joking, "I want to visit ALL of the places mentioned in your books."

She's about the sixth or seventh person to ask me to either take them to such locations. I've had plenty more ask for directions, so they could ninja in a visit for themselves. Aberystwyth Tourist Board alone owes me big time. If indeed such a body exists.

I got to thinking. Considering that Orangepunch is a kick-ass photographer, and we're going everywhere anyway, would there be any interest in us creating an actual It Matters Guide to Britain?

We'd format it as both an eBook and in hard copy. Each location would have one of Orangepunch's picture and my blarb, plus where to find it. (Not all of them are obvious. You'd search a long time in vain for Matt's flat in Southampton. It's half way across Britain in Wednesfield.)

Because we can't get a hard copy without going through a self-publishing place, there would be a cost. But we'd keep it to the absolute minimum allowed.  Ditto with the eBook, but I wouldn't be AT ALL surprised if that ended up on Pirate Bay. (My last book mysteriously made it there before even being published.)

There would be a fair bit of work involved doing this. Not just in the putting it together and writing it, but in listing all the places actually name-checked in the It Matters novels.  The alternative for us both is just to go on fun trips, and spend time on things actually earning us a living.

But we're both up for it, if there is an interest. Is there?

You mentioned this the other day and I was like, "yes please" and then I read this and the idea of it sunk in more/ sounded even cooler than the first time around, so now I'm saying "OMFG YES PLEASE."

I say, if you went places that inspired a place-- like Matt's flat, then both should be included in the book. Like, this is the actual flat that inspired Matt's flat, this is Southampton, etc.

Very easily done and a good idea too. If this is going to be a thing, we'd better get a move on listing locations. Maybe folk at the forum might help, if we opened a thread.

this idea makes me giddy... not only do I get to go all these places, but apparently a book is going to be written and my name will be on it :O

I totally went to Cyberdog in Camden Market the last time I was across the pond just because of your novels. I have no regrets. It was totally better than shopping online (and I got to meet one of my makeup inspirations! :O )

Good, because it's a kick ass shop! I could get lost for hours in there. Did you enjoy Camden Market then?
