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

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.

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.

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!

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???

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)

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

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.
