Hi Mike, you have run your own printing agency, Spencer Print, for a couple of years now. We’ve heard that you are starting a new project of illustrated autobiographical books; could you tell us more about it?

Yes, my colleague and I are producing a series of one off biographies aimed solely at the rich and famous.

Is your colleague the illustrator?

My colleague, Karl Dixon, is an internationally acclaimed cartoonist who has worked on the Dandy Comic. He has now left them to form his own publishing company.

How do you establish the storyline behind the books?

Karl Dixon will interview a client and his family to ascertain all the most personal and cherished moments in their life.
This will then be used to produce a one off autobiography solely for the client and his family which won’t be on sale to the general public.

What will the book look like?

The book will be illustrated with watercolour, on high quality watercolour paper. The book will then be bound with leather, with the option of gold leaf and diamond inlay.

Why are you focused on the rich and famous?

The book will not be cheap. It will sell at a minimum of £1000 per page, with an average book being 40 pages. We are confident that once one book has been sold then every star and rich person will want one. We are also looking into getting a TV programme produced filming the process.

This sounds great, how are you feeling about it?

We are extremely excited by this project and it has huge potential. We only need somebody really famous to sign up, and then the sky’s the limit. We are also going to be producing tutorial DVD’s and running an online course.

How will you promote all of these new services?

When I have more funds available I plan to upgrade my Easily Account so I can run an online store. We plan to sell DVD Tutorials and run an online drawing college. If we can sell just one autobiography to someone really famous, then we believe demand will increase for the books, videos and courses.

Mike, thanks a lot for your time and all the best for your creative projects.

Thank you.
