I’ve heard that they are re-booting Pirates of the Caribbean and remaking Clueless, 23 years on. MAKE SOMETHING NEW. There is so much out there that would be wonderful for film and TV. Read some books, producer people. Whole new worlds await you!

Hey, just a friendly reminder to writers trying to find an agent. If you receive an email politely rejecting your request for representation, it's not the done thing to respond with, “F*ck you, motherf*cker”.

Do you know that since BREXIT
@GoldsboroBooks
now has to do the paperwork for EVERY parcel? Not just for EU customers. It used to be efficient to pack, click and drop. Now there are hours of paperwork. What a fucked up idea BREXIT was and how damaging it is for U.K. businesses.
