Litopia After Dark 012 - Touching The Monkey

This week’s LITOPIA AFTER DARK recklessly plunges into the wild and wacky world of the WOTY (listen to the show to find out!) during which we learn more than we ever thought we’d want to know about micro-groms, man-flu, smirting and whaletails –to name but a few. We also look at the latest developments in the lawsuit brought by JK Rowling and Warner bros against the author of publisher of the unofficial Harry Potter encyclopaedia... ask what future is there for publishing trade magazines... ponder alternatives to the Mozart Effect... and ask What Your Bookshelf really Says about you. The main discussion tonight is about “If I Knew Then What I Know Now – The First, Best Writing Advice I Ever Had”. Our panellists tonight are Donna Ballman, Dave Bartram, Beverly Gray and Carolyn Soutar. As always, the show is recorded in front of a live audience via UStream, where there’s an opportunity to make comments during the programme.
