  3. IF I HAD A MILLION DOLLARS

    IF I HAD A MILLION DOLLARS

    The world's most sporadic podcast returns with an episode about money. Will and Steve discuss how much money is and is not earned by writers and how they can bump up their often pitiful salaries in other ways – often by doing nothing at all. A drink is shared, secrets are spilled and Steve calls some AI vanity publishers a bunch of c***s. Settle in for the latest instalment of Let's Get Lit. Hosted on Acast.

  4. THE SEARCH

    THE SEARCH

    Research. How much should you do? How do you do it? Should you just write what you already know? These questions and more will be answered in this week's show. Will and Steve will also be sampling some vanilla rum while discussing The Booker Prize, TikTok, fitting kitchens, Spanish curtain choices, and the effects of placing a dead body in a bath of bleach. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    TELL ME WHEN

    Will and Steve are back in the studio after trying an online recording of the show, last time. (Thanks to 21 Soho for hosting.) This week, discussion turns to when one is allowed to officially refer to themselves as A WRITER. There is also talk of the boom in influencer book deals, conjoined twins, Bloody Scotland, Oasis tickets, and the favoured tipple of the homeless. So grab yourself a drink and settle in for more bookish rants. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    YOU GOTTA BE

    Another live recording of the LET'S GET LIT podcast, this time from the Progress Theatre in Reading for FOURBEARS FEST.

They talk about the National Book Awards, festival FOMO and working class people in the arts, as well as the death of dogs and film producers. There is audience interaction and Debbie has a very important question for Will. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  8. MOVING ON AND GETTING OVER

    03/05/2024

    MOVING ON AND GETTING OVER

    This week it's all about REJECTION. Rejection from agents. Rejection from publishers. And rejection from readers. And how writers just have to move on and get over it. There's a short history of some famous writer rejections and Will and Steve share some of their best one-star reviews, before talking about this year's longlist for the Theakston's Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year. Oh, and Diane from Dudley gets a little saucy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
