Land of Hope and Dreams - Special Edition

The new edition of Land of Hope and Dreams is now complete.
It is packed with more photos than we imagined we could get into an e-book.
Plus the new Wrecking Ball chapters feature almost 24,000 words, bringing the book to a barn-storming 112,000 words.
We've met so many people who have asked us to update the book. 
It feels great to have finally been able to do it.
It will be available on Amazon from May 16.

Sittin' round here tryin' to write this book

Thanks to everyone who has sent us contributions for the upcoming e-book version of LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS.

So sorry we haven't been able to reply to everybody.

There is still time to send us stories - until the end of March.

We are hoping to edit the new version during April and May for release towards the end of May - ahead of the June Slane +30 anniversary.

Get in touch - wherever you are, as long as it is somewhere in BossLand!

Telling us your story for updated Springsteen book

Quick update following previous post.
We've had lots of questions about the word count for submissions.
We want as many people to be included as we can, so we are looking at 1,000 words for an absolute maximum.
Please try not to write more than is necessary. Short stories of a few paragraphs will be just as welcome as ones of 400 or 500 words.
As always, we have to reserve the right to cut for editorial purposes. All stories will be professionally proofed, so don't worry if you are concerned about grammar, spelling, etc.
A reminder: here's the email address for stories springsteeninireland@googlemail.com
Thanks!

Join us for the new edition of our Springsteen book!

At last we're updating our Springsteen book 'Land of Hope and Dreams'.

There will be an e-edition coming for Slane+30 in June 2015.

We'll post more info along the way but here is the basic breakdown:

* The e-book will feature the stories of all of Bruce's shows in Ireland, bringing the text bang up to date.

* It will include the stories featured in the original book... plus...

* ...We need more!

So many people contacted us after the book was published to say they wished they were in it.

Email us your stories about shows - or simply your love of Bruce. We will do what we can to include them all.

springsteeninireland@googlemail

We'll need all the stories in by MARCH 31, 2015.

Please include your name and location in the email - as you would like to see it written in the book.

Any questions, thoughts, suggestions, please get in touch.
