Strange Beings Seek Writer

by Ryan Harris
19th April 2022

I am a self-confessed techno-phobe and luddite seeking a writer to give life to my creations "The Spacekins."

The characters are tiny astronauts who live in the Asteroid Belt, they and their environs are made almost entirely from found, salvaged and recycled materials.

I have had interest from several hybrid and self-publishers, but I am not a writer - and I'm afraid my attempts at story telling don't do the artwork justice.

I am keen to inspire a writer of similar humour and imagination to help give these little beings a place in the universe.

Literary Agent

by Christopher Torretto
7th March 2022

Hello everyone , firstly I hope you are all keeping well and being creative.

I am a screenwriter and have several scripts with known directors and producers with connections to Universal and Netflix etc. I sold seven scripts last month alone that are now making major offers of Hollywood stars. I am searching for an agent that can help me deal with contracts and get scripts to those that are unsolicited. I have done well getting contacts and scripts up till now but think it’s time to be represented.

thank you all

What came first? Your book or your title?

by Michelle Hurst

Just simply that, what came first for you. Your book or your book title?

My book came first (not finished) and have now decided on a title halfway through it. Will it remain that title, I'm not sure yet.

Pen & paper or laptop?

by Michelle Hurst

Do you still use pen and paper to write or do you go straight to the laptop to write your works?

Personally, I still use pen and paper and then transfer to my laptop and edit while typing it up.

No simultaneous submissions

by Biljana Malesevic
16th July 2021

This rule "No simultaneous submissions" bothers me a lot. It's present in most, if not all submission guidelines. I understand that publisher doesn't want other publishers to have the exact same novel, that is perfectly understanding and valid point. Problem is, at least in my experience, most publishers will not answer to your submission, ever. Not even a short formal letter of rejection which I would really appreciate.

Can I use the names of real products and companies in fiction?

by Andrew Ganner
19th August 2021

Hello. I have a question about using the names of real products and companies in a fictional story I am writing. It is based in England and Scotland and all the characters are purely fictional, but to add a touch of reality I'd like to add some real references, some of which include; The Caledonian Sleeper (train), Pot Noodles, Land Rover, Raleigh bicycles, Dalwhinnie Distillery, Fort George (Historic Scotland). Do I need to seek permission? Are the names protected? Or can I just add them to the story without asking? Thank you in advance for your replies. ANDY

Using Song Titles & Artists' Names

by Adrian Young
18th March 2021

I am currently writing a book about my favorite artists and bands. I will be mentioning many song titles and band names. I will not be quoting any song titles and there will be nothing negative about any of the songs or artists.

Where do I stand from a legal/copyright point of view in the UK?

Thank you.
