Apologies to everyone who’s sent me a PM recently, as you could tell from the last Pop-Ups of the year on Sunday, your faithful agent was a sick puppy… I’m on the mend and will be catching up with things soon…

Yesterday's Pop-Ups ended a trifle early... this is why
One of the weirder things about the interview I just did with the Express is that 3rd party websites have kind of lifted it, but warped it (why?). So one today says “These revelations have been brought to light by Literary agent Peter Cox, in her upcoming memoir”. WTF?
First technical test today for Pop-Ups went well. So looks like we’re on for this Sunday!
If you’ve sent me a message and I haven’t replied, it’s because I’m only just starting to get straight again Moving is traumatic!
The laughs I get here in the Colony are better than going to the Comedy Store in LA!
The epic scale of the move is all too clear. Yesterday saw me sitting by the M3 with 2 friendly Ethiopians, 3 dozen vegan fish and a van that kept on breaking down. If it sounds like something from a David Lynch movie, it was.
Spending a lot of time travelling between London and Warminster atm, prior to move. Snapped this yesterday morning from coach.
Social Interest Groups (SIGs) Are (Nearly) Here… not much longer now...
There seem to be network problems with our server at the moment, connectivity is patchy. If the Colony becomes unavailable, you’ll find status updates on our Twitter feed and Facebook page.
Upgrades completed.
Software upgrades today, may be some downtime
It is done
Apologies, everyone, but I’m keeping my head down atm finishing the SYNOPSES seminar. Not even taking calls. Will respond to mails etc when I emerge…
Let me know how you found the new Genius Room video feeds from today's live show, please!
This Sunday's live Pop-Up Submissions features special guest and developmental editor & authors' midwife… Tiffany Yates Martin! Plus Litopia own Ali Gardiner and submissions from Naima Diab, Heather Byrne, Sara O’Riordan, Philippa Ronan and Josephine Bruni Hope you can join us live!
Bit of an issue with the way we stream to YouTube, any thoughts welcome Sci-Fi | Pop-Up Submissions LIVE! Sunday 28th August
Can't disagree
Widening our streaming destinations for today’s Pop-Ups… adding Telegram, DailyMotion and LinkedIn
If there are any MySQL / MariaDB mavens lurking here, I wouldn't mind a quick word of advice…
Gave a quote for this piece about audiobooks… Do you agree? Yes, Audiobooks Count as Reading — And You Should Add Some to Your Reading List
The first rule of Pop-Ups is never do any post-production… cock-ups are part of the show. But I’m breaking that rule for tonight’s show, the submissions were not queued up correctly (dumb!) and I under-stated the number of Bram Stoker awards Lee Murray had won! Both now corrected, the show will be uploaded and have a new link in about an hour.
Feeling a lot better than I was on Sunday, thanks to everyone who helped me get thru the show! This Covid variant, altho’ relatively mild, has left me without much sense of taste or smell… which I’m REALLY annoyed by!
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
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.
And we’re back online again. Many apologies for the downtime! -
