YES! I think this course is so good that it will help almost anyone. I would do it again in a flash. And the one to one attention is worth the price alone!

KazG replied to the topic Mobile phones in the forum The Writers' Lifeboat 6 years, 8 months ago

That’s exactly the sort of detail-conundrum that gets my knickers in a twist, too! I agree with @philippaeast on this. I’m hearing a mobile that rings and rings, cuts out and then almost immediately rings and rings, cuts out, etc etc. Without knowing exactly what that signifies in your story I think it has the same level of hopeful/hopeless effort…[Read more]

@jillybean you MUST!
KazG replied to the topic Book Two – Out Now in the forum Podium 6 years, 8 months ago

This looks absolutely brilliant! They both do actually and thank you for the reminder about book 1 – I’ve just downloaded both of them and am really looking forward to getting my teeth into them.

Contraception details! Sheep wool beards!! Are you planning on releasing a kind of “Ironside’s Notes’ on your research rabbit holes to accompany your…[Read more]

Hooray! what great news, and very well deserved 🙂

Congratulations Sandra! An 8-year gestation after a sprint start 🙂 Well done on persevering and turning your dream and idea into a proper, finished book!

Thank you @barny! 🙂
KazG replied to the topic Publishing deal!! in the forum Podium 6 years, 9 months ago

THANK YOU all! I’ve been so moved by all the generous responses all round. The writing community is really the best.

Spent most of yesterday in a champagne-induced haze but now back to work 🙂 🙂
KazG started the topic Publishing deal!! in the forum Podium 6 years, 9 months ago

And it’s OFFICIAL! I’ve been bursting to tell you all 🙂

After SO LONG waiting and biting nails etc, I have signed a 2-book deal with Penguin Random House Australia! When Days Tilt will publish in Feb 2021 (I know!) and When Souls Tear 6 months later in August. Since I’m still on the first draft of WST that timing is probably a Good Thing.

KazG replied to the topic Help with a Title, please. in the forum The Writers' Lifeboat 6 years, 9 months ago

My vote goes to:

“A Lyttle Goes a Long Way”
The Improbable Life of an Ulster Storyteller

I’m intrigued by the idea of an improbable life! Improbable tales abound, but an improbable life really piques my interest.

That’s my tuppence worth, anyway 🙂

Congratulations @sandra! And well done @raine, I’m sorry I didn’t join in as I somehow missed this new version of a comp (great idea btw)…but my fault entirely. I will read all these with relish 🙂 x
KazG replied to the topic Help with a Title, please. in the forum The Writers' Lifeboat 6 years, 9 months ago

Boosting your straw poll stats, Tony, I too prefer your working title – hands down. It’s interesting, unusual and specific – far better than a generic title in my opinion. I would pick it up to see what it meant, if nothing else, whereas I wouldn’t even glance at Limelight, I don’t think.

I also like ‘improbable’ as an adjective – again it’s…[Read more]

Reading is excellent @squidge. I’m not doing enough of that and feeling the lack myself. It’s such a good way of ‘filling the well’ isn’t it? Enjoy!

  Can’t believe how busy end of term is…
  
  Yep, can do bits and pieces on paper, but I’m wary of putting too much effort in now if things change much further back and have an impact on later work. Such a fine balance. Doing lots of reading instead.

(in your head, I mean, when you’re not sitting at your desk. I’m a big fan of creative compost).

Oh wow, BOTH of you? That is just brilliant, I’m so pleased to hear it! A big achievement right there. Congratulations! xx
KazG replied to the topic New Book Release: Revolt (The King's Knight) in the forum Podium 6 years, 10 months ago

Congratulations, Jules! sounds like a brilliant read. 3-book contract that slipped your mind, eh? 🙂 congratulations for that, too.

Out of interest, who was that with and did you negotiate it yourself?
