I agree Teresa. Without representation I would have been totally lost.

I have a friend who is also my agent, I couldn't do without him. He has negotiated, renegotiated, given me confidence, edited and is a brilliant all rounder. The fact that he's a friend might mean I am a little more privileged than most though :) I don't think I could do all the necessary work...

I have always been a huge admirer of Maya. She inspires my writing, both personal and academic - even my undergrad thesis was based on her poetry and its spirituality. Such a warrior for humanity, inspiration for us all. I would urge anyone to read her autobiographies, poems and essays, all...

Indeed it does sound reasonable! I was imagining it might be more expensive, think you will go ahead with it? :)

Love it! Really cool idea - my query would be how much this loveliness affects the price I have to pay,but collectors would snap it up. :)

I like your approach to writing even more now I have read this! Like you, I write what is in my head at the time to advance my story in the way I want it to go without regard to genre. Writers in all genres should be brave and innovative. Enjoy writing, creating and experimenting! :)

Hi. I know you said that you weren't thinking of a traditional English Degree (and I'm not sure if you want to relocate) but University of Ulster does a fantastic English degree course. You have to take a core module each semester; these follow a traditional canonical route. The other 2...

Congratulations :)

Well, you would have to handle multiple protagonists extremely carefully to avoid creating confusion and / or a complete mess. Nonetheless, I admire your daring and willingness to experiment as a writer. It is most refreshing to see someone who thinks a little more out of the box. What genre is...

Sounds interesting; I don't see why you couldn't introduce them that way. So long as it's well written I wouldn't have a problem.

Think I would favour Collected Tales Of .........

Thaddeus which series of The Borgias did you try? I Claudius, definitely an oldie but Jacobi at his best.

I like Kaza; it just rolls off the tongue very nicely. Have you considered Kaalyn? It means strong, willful warrior - thought it might tie in with her personality as you described it. Proto - Ganzit is cool. If I were picking I would choose Ganzy as a shortened version because it sounds a...

Rome was very good as was The Borgias. Blackadder and Casanova were both fabulous. Movies, The Madness of King George, both Elizabeth movies starring Kate Blanchett, Anne of a Thousand Days. I recall watching a BBC production about Elizabeth the First starring Glenda Jackson; I think it was...

Extollager thank you so much for the Machen references. I'm going to have to dip back into my Coleridgean files to refresh myself with his essays, theories, letters. I found him terribly exciting as a writer, philosopher and thinker. What fascinated me when I studied him as an undergraduate...

Forgive my lack of knowledge, I am wondering if you would consider posting a brief synopsis of the life and important works of Arthur Machen? I must confess that apart from reading The Great God Pan a long time ago, I am unfamiliar with any more of his work. What caught my attention...

I'm with Christian and will send you my email. :)

Paper every time, for all the reasons I posted on the other similar thread,

Re: Ebooks VS Books Physical, paper, in your hand books are my personal favourite. I can't curl up in bed at night or sit as at ease in my rocking chair with a kindle and feel as content. I like to turn down pages where I read a passage / verse that has meaning to me or is an example of...
