Six months ago, Litopia Writers’ Colony launched the world’s first weekly panel show for writers – LITOPIA AFTER DARK. The show quickly attracted rave reviews and an ever-growing audience of listeners globally.
On Litopia After Dark this week:- Our Special Guest is Jean Hannah Edelstein, writer blogger and literary commentator. Is it time for the first female Poet Laureate? William McGonagall - genius or idiot? Nerds are the subject of a new book. Kindle figures are out and Amazon puts the squeeze on Publishers. And public schoolboys are back - but what makes us love them?
Confrontation is in the air on Litopia After Dark. Yes, there’s an exceptional amount of aggro in the news this week and, as you’ve come to expect, our fearless panel tackles everything head-on as we discuss things we hate, things they hate and things things hate: it’s really one great big hate-fest.
We’re thrilled to be welcoming novelist Susie Day to the Podcast this Friday. Susie is the author of Big Woo/Serafina67 (two names, one book) which has been described as ‘Laugh-out-loud funny, stunningly authentic and totally original.’ Big Woo is the book’s title in the UK and is published by Marion Lloyd Books: Serafina67 is the US edition, out in hardback August 08. Susie describes herself as an internet geek so it isn’t surprising to find that Big Woo is written in the form of a blog.
Tonight on LITOPIA AFTER DARK we’re delighted to have as our special guest an acclaimed author who could be considered a signpost to the future. In the words of publishing maven Martyn Daniels (who was our guest on “The Money Issue - How will Authors Survive in the Digital Future?” April 5th) Kate Pullinger is one of the few authors who “gets it” about the new digital media age, and who is already using it in highly creative ways.
We’re delighted to announce that this Friday’s special guest on LITOPIA AFER DARK will be Canadian-born novelist and author of digital fiction, Kate Pullinger. Currently Reader in Creative Writing and New Media at De Montfort University, Leicester, Kate teaches the online MA in Creative Writing and New Media that she helped establish.
Your book is written, re-written, checked and double checked and you’re ready to find it a home. But in this ultra-competitive publishing climate how do you ensure your novel escapes from the slush pile? On Litopia After Dark this week our very special guest is Simon Flynn, Publishing Director of Icon Books and we ask him how to sex up our submissions to get them noticed and how publishers themselves package their books to entice the reader.
