#19 – The Next Big Thing

from Not Quite Write Hosted by Ed & Amanda

Capitalism and art don't mix... unless you're Taylor Swift! We start with a look at Self-publishing (Taylor's Version) following the news that the Pop artist's self-published Eras Tour book sold nearly a million copies in its first week. From there, we explore Ed's hidden agenda to lure more men into the literary world (whether they like it or not!) Finally, in Get Rec'd, Amanda has once again neglected to check herself before she rec'd herself, so we shine an uncomfortable spotlight on her own middle grade adventure story, 'Go Big or Go Home'.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
