Where Awesome Book Readers Meet Awesome Writers

1. Go Sub Yourself! 55 Subs To Make Your NOVEL Stand Out From The Competition - I started writing at about age three, mainly in crayon. I moved on to marker pens and spray cans in my teen years before deciding on some kind of plastic tapping device. I was born in the previous century in one of the more exciting ‘out-there’ decades. I am a two metre tall biped from the genus Homo Sapiens and, like many of my species, I am simultaneously amazed and confused by what I like to call ‘This Life Thing’. Some of ‘This Life Thing’ has involved me working as a driver’s mate, factory gateman, barman, labourer, telesales operative, sales assistant, warehouseman, Student Union President, University IT helpdesk guy, British Rail signal software designer, Premiership Football website designer, gigging musician, graphic designer, stand-up comedian, sound engineer, Improv artist, magazine editor, novel ghost-writer and Wide Web journo – although I don’t like to talk about it. Mostly. I have (at some time or other) lived on most of the Earth’s major continents and when not travelling to varied and interesting worlds all over the cosmos, I find myself residing in the county of East Sussex in the seaside town of Brighton. Oh, I am also the author of 'GO SUB YOURSELF! - 50 Subs to Make Your NOVEL Stand Out from the Competition': http://ow.ly/mhD58 & the upcoming Young Adult Sci-fi novel, 'BLUE INTO THE RIP' - the first novel in the imaginatively named 'BLUE INTO THE RIP' series. I was also a runner up in the 2005 Clarke-Bradbury International Science Fiction Competition, published in 'Running the Line - Stories of the Space Elevator'. My short: 'Escaping the Cradle': http://ow.ly/msUQf Cheers, Kev
