How to be a paperback writer…
When I started publishing ebooks for Kindle last year, quite a few people asked me when the paperback versions were coming out. This was obviously annoying. Why aren’t you embracing the digital ebook revolution!!? I shouted (well, thought, more than shouted). But I can’t say I’m surprised. People still cling to the feel of books, the smell of books; the notion of books as tactile pleasures. I did that my whole life before I converted to the convenience of reading …
A spooky little thing I noticed about our unconscious need for structure
I go on about structure a lot, particularly in screenwriting, but also in my prose fiction. I teach screenwriting classes at Worcester University and Birmingham City University, both at undergraduate and masters level, and with each intake I find myself giving students my take on the basics of 3-Act Structure as defined by screenwriting guru Syd Field (hear us chat about it in my podcast), or the mythological paradigm of the Hero’s Journey, from Campbell via Vogler. A lot of …
The Budapest Breakfast Club goes INTERACTIVE… and it’s FREE for 2 days!
Yes, it’s another ebook giveaway. The Budapest Breakfast Club is now available FREE to download to your Kindle for the next two days (1-2 March) . But this is not just any old e-book. The novel has been given a bit of a makeover. It’s now the INTERACTIVE SOUNDTRACK edition. It’s something I’ve been thinking of doing for a year now. A lot of my books contain musical references, so wouldn’t it be nice to hear the music as you read? …

11 before 11.11.11
Or How I Published 11 Books in 9 Months Was it only this March that I announced to the world that I was publishing my first ebook and there would be another ten before the end of the year? Seems like last week. When I first announced it, it wasn’t 11. I thought, hey I’ll get ten titles out before Xmas, the idea being to get a firm footprint on Kindle in time for the holiday season increase in ebook …

Outside Left, the online international pop culture magazine, have just announced their Andy Conway Week. This all came from editor, Paul Lamont, who I met through friends of friends at a party. He told me how much he liked Girl With the Bomb Inside …

In 1912, they explore their city’s dark past, a gritty, violent, gaslit world of real danger, and try to prevent the murder of a teenage girl at …
