Inviting all Litopians to join us live tonight at 6pm UK for a YouTube premiere of “The Art of Wolf Brother”. For 18 years, Michelle Paver has collaborated with renowned artist Geoff Taylor on more than 300 illustrations for her series. But they’ve never met or spoken to each other! Tonight's premiere shows what happened when they finally met, a few days ago...

LBF madness nearly over, I will be back here in force next week

AgentPete · Mar 28, 2022

Completely impossible to understand YouTube’s algos. Yesterday’s show started with several C-words (my personal position is that I’m really not keen on C-words and F-bombs in submissions, but we respect authors’ rights of expression) and I was convinced we’d be demonetized or worse. But no, all is AOK. We’ve been penalized by them for far less.

AgentPete · Mar 1, 2022

And we’re back online again. Many apologies for the downtime!

Amidst all today’s gloom: three stately swans circled and expertly landed on the water, just in front of me; woodpeckers drilling morse code messages to each other; and spring has come to Regent’s Park. Enough to make me smile today.

Great white shark just spotted in UK waters… plus today’s hurricane Eunice… = Sharknado?

Writing is as much about the words you leave out as the words you leave in.

AgentPete · Feb 5, 2022

Will be in the Huddle from about 4:30pm today if you'd like to drop by and chat

AgentPete · Feb 4, 2022

Writers & computers… I want to spend a few mins talking about this in tomorrow’s Huddle. Computers should be our tools, not our masters. If your tech life needs simplifying, come along and take part!

Going down for upgrades in a moment...

AgentPete · Jan 1, 2022

May this new year bring all your heart’s desires to you, in abundance

AgentPete · Dec 14, 2021

Hard at work on the Writing Killer Synopses & Book Proposals live seminar for this Saturday. Booking info will be posted soon (as always, this will be free to Full Members).

Very pleased to say that Peggy will be coming home tomorrow evening. There is still a very long road ahead, we’re under no illusions. But she is nothing if not determined. And she’s been one of their star achievers, all the nurses / therapists have been hugely impressed. Thanks to everyone here for their understanding and support these past few weeks.

Colony will be down for upgrades soon.

Thanks for the welcome - I did enjoy the critique on Rogues in Paradise. Will be having a conversation with my editor on all of the suggestions. I missed the boat on not explaining more about the book and my relevant background

What is the state of being in consternation… Consterned? Consternated?? Concatenated???

"Writing Killer Titles" seminar confirmed for Saturday 6th November... more details soon

AgentPete · Oct 25, 2021

I'm producing a live show with my client Michelle Paver tonight, all Litopians cordially invited to come along!

AgentPete · Oct 25, 2021

Had to do some post-production on yesterday’s Pop-Ups (removed tech glitches) which means it has a new link and we’ve lost our viewer count. Please promote it over the next few days if you can: lots of great advice from Julia to writers (with timestamps, see the show description for links)

AgentPete · Oct 22, 2021

The 17th October Pop-Ups whichh had a freeze problem on YouTube has now been corrected.

Josephine · Oct 5, 2021

Just packing all my books up to move house and I found this... is this you?!

AgentPete · Sep 22, 2021

Something amazing's happening this Sunday instead of PopUps. And I won't even be here to see it

AgentPete · Sep 18, 2021

The video of our first seminar, (writing blurbs) has just gone on sale for the bargain price of $14.95

Even better news: Full Members will get it free, inside the Colony, in a couple of weeks Watch Writing Killer Blurbs Online | Vimeo On Demand

Definitely censorship. Some human designed and programmed that AI. If they're leaving it to call the shots, that's deliberate and contemptuous (of clients) manipulation.

AgentPete · Sep 12, 2021

Once again, YouTube demonetised today’s Pop-Ups. Instantly, as soon as the show was over, we got a flag against us. Never any explanations, left guessing why.

AgentPete · Aug 4, 2021

Two news commands have been added to the chat room: slap and hug!

AgentPete · Jul 26, 2021

We're all updated. All is normal. (!)

AgentPete · Jul 26, 2021

Software update happening soon. All should be good, but you really never know until it's done. Will keep you posted.
