Bill Munro

Biography

Since 1998 I have written eight non-fiction print books for other publishers. Three of these are about military vehicles but most specialise in the history of the London taxi. After self-publishing a ninth title through my company, Earlswood Press I then took the work of other authors, and published another of my own print books under this imprint.

I currently have two ebooks published on Smashwords: 'The Golden Rules of Self-Publishing' and a text-only version of one of my Earlswood Press titles, 'London Taxis - A Full History'.

At the moment I still have a day job, which is driving a London taxi. I'm married to Karen, who, besides holding down a full-time job helps me run Earlswood Press. Together we enjoy social dancing, walking, swimming and travel

Smashwords Interview

How do you approach cover design?
One, does it match the style of the book, two, does it have a real impact and three, is it bold enough to show up as a thumbnail? This last is often overlooked, as on line, that's all you see!
What do you read for pleasure?
Mostly non-fiction, particularly biographies and history. Fiction has really got to grab me, and the last books that did have me really hooked were those in Steig Larssen's Millenium Trilogy. For modern British life, try Andrew Crofts
