Memories Don’t Lie by Pauline Yates – Launches 11th March 2023
I was a compulsive daydreamer growing up, and I turned that into a writing career. What could be better than doing the thing you love most?
Under Ground by Steven Streeter – Launches 12th November 2021
The world knows so little about the Outback that it seems logical that you can throw monsters and creatures there, and they can go undiscovered for the pathetic amount of time Europeans have lived here. The Indigenous Peoples knew about many creatures, but they are dismissed. But…what if…?
Time’s Abyss by James Pyles – Launches 15th October 2021
I started writing technology textbooks nearly twenty years ago, almost by accident. I asked a friend of mine to edit a small article on SATA hard drives I was writing for a Linux tutorial website, and he ended up recommending me to a publisher who needed a chapter written for a networking guide. After that, everything just mushroomed and now I’m a professional technical writer.
Those of the Light by Nicola Currie – Launches 24th September 2021
Tenacity is just as important as talent. It is very easy to want to give up and lose faith in your work, particularly after rejection. But experiencing rejection and dealing with self-criticism are part of earning your stripes as an author, and I’m definitely a stronger writer for it.
The Gate to the Underworld by E.L. Giles – Launches 10th September 2021
Anything can inspire me. Movies, series, or a well composed soundtrack. Music in general. It can even be a single word I like, or a sentence. Sometimes it’s a sensation I want to recreate and build a story around. It’s rarely the same.
This Hideous Joy by Jonathan Inbody – Launches 21st August 2021
Filmmaking has always been my first love. But I love to write in any format, and short stories are just easier to bring into the world than films are (not to mention cheaper), so I end up putting out a lot more prose than I do short films.
Beyond Human by Matthew Clarke – Launches 23rd July 2021
What does literary success look like to you? Holding a book with your name on it. Everyone’s definition of success is different, but if you’re only writing with the aim of getting rich and famous, you’re likely to be disappointed.
The Salamandrion by Mike Adamson – Launches 24th July 2021
Literary success, to me, would mean scoring serious novel contracts with major publishers—mainstream circulation in the higher five figures and upward, with international reach, including foreign language editions and screen rights sales. This definitely calls for agency representation, and I’m hoping my track record, built up since 2016 in the short story market, will open that particular door. I’ve dabbled in screenwriting for the last twenty years, too, and a cross-pollination of success between fields is always possible.
After the Fall by Stephen Herczeg – Launches 9th July 2021
If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be? FINISH IT. Don’t give up, don’t stop creating. And stay away from so much beer.
