Tell us what you think, please!

Here are some questions to spark your comments. Answer any questions you’d like to, or just say what you feel. Be honest, positive or negative – we appreciate ALL comments, and they will stay anonymous if you wish. [If you say something nice that you'd be happy for us to use in our PR blurb, we will be delighted and very grateful, and we will need a name, although it could be a pseudonym if you're shy.]

Either email us with your comments at feedback@capsica.net or post a comment here on the blog (all comments come to us first, so say NOT FOR PUBLICATION if you'd rather your comment stays confidential)

- are you a: writer, reader, Mersey Mini buyer, librarian, Mersey Mini retailer, supporter, or ….?

- What do you think of the Mersey Mini books? eg design (shape, feel, size, look), illustrations, choice of texts, price, etc

- Specifically about Vol 3 – Longing: did you like the overall feel of the entries? Did you like the mix of famous names and not so famous? How did you feel about Liverpool as a result of reading the book? Did you learn anything? Did it prompt memories, good or bad? If you live away from Liverpool, did it make you want to come back, at least for a visit?

- If you were published in Vol 3, how did that feel (especially if it was your publishing debut)? Have you had any comments from friends, family or complete strangers? Has it inspired you to write more? Has it led to anything else?

- If you entered the 2007 Mersey Mini competition (Longing), is there anything that could have been done better (by us) to improve the competition for next year? Eg the blog, entry form, rules & guidelines, communication, etc

- If you came to the launch of the book on 28th August, did you enjoy the event? Is there anything we could have done better, anything we missed out, anything we could leave out next year? Did you like the venue?

- If you came to any other Mersey Mini launches, do you have any comments about those events?

- If you’ve bought the books, was it an easy process? Eg buying online, finding the books in shops, etc

- Do you think the same idea would work in other cities, eg Dublin, London, Oxford? If so, which city or area would be a good focal point?

MANY THANKS, and we hope you enjoy Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture.
