@MrEwanMorrison It was 1 ep of a 4 part series on Writers Around Britain or something like that. Think it was 2009.

@MrEwanMorrison Yup. It may also bury or waste many potentially great novels thru lack of editorial input or premature publication.

@williamsonkev will check out the melvyn bragg, any idea when it was done?

@MrEwanMorrison Really enjoyed it too. Along with Melvyn Bragg’s one its the best TV doc done on Burns.

@williamsonkev I think the long tail will leave millions of new writers disappointed – sick of hype. Yr right we have to stick with the book

@MrEwanMorrison U’v pretty much nailed the long tail con of self epublishing gurus. Me? I’ve faith in survival of book as physical object.

@williamsonkev kindle gurus, many of them on social media. charlatans all of them. spec bubble. name and shame them.

@MrEwanMorrison Hmm. Authors should spend 80% of their time hunting down kindle gurus & feeding them to starving lions.

@williamsonkev kindle gurus say authors should spend 80% of their time on social media and 20% writing. Do you agree?
