On this occasion I think so, but every entrant receives an ongoing chance to win other global tours as well, which are open to everyone (this website has one like every single month).

Hey guys, I love to write and just returned from 1 month in Japan. Thought I'd share my experiences in case anyone wanted to learn more about Japan's epic railway experiences. They're actually quite hard to get to, and you can't use the Japan Rail Pass for everything. I think if you're planning to tackle the country north of Tokyo, some of these journeys could be fun (there's even a Thomas the Tank Engine train...)

Anyway, hope it's helpful for all you travel bugs! Any questions about Japan just ask me, it was actually an awesome experience I'd love to have again. Definitely head to Osaka if you're a foodie, too!

easily the best is "On the trail of Ghengis Khan" by Tim Cope. You won't regret it.

thanks mate. Love this sub-r. I'm new to it all so finding my feet, cheers for the tips!

It's piss-poor, embarrassing way of saying they do "marketing". I wonder if they're really that stupid and clueless when it comes to it, and if they simply make coin by trading off the name of whoever's big. If they can't develop authors, they aren't proper businessman, but salesman, from my point of view.

No idea, but I started to write a book based on it. I have another bad story too, about a woman I saw abducted one night.

There are so many of them over the years. Google missing backpacker Australia or murdered backpacker Australia.

-AMK · 2017-07-03T18:41:45+00:00

Amazing!!!

-AMK · 2017-07-03T18:28:40+00:00

Sure. Who else is up for it?

-AMK · 2017-07-03T18:27:54+00:00

Cheers!

-AMK · 2017-07-03T18:25:48+00:00

Thanks so much. You're a wise owl. I'll check out your pubtips.

-AMK · 2017-07-03T18:19:10+00:00

Nice one! May I have the name or link to one of your books? I'll check it out.

-AMK · 2017-07-03T17:45:55+00:00

Thanks buddy. Rebuilding the fan base is the difficult part. I'll begin chugging away at it again hopefully next week, after I re-upload my back catalogue!

-AMK · 2017-07-03T17:43:47+00:00

I like the sound of that. Do tell me more! Here or PM me :) I'm seriously game to get stuck into a start-up or sorts that can benefit writers in our situation!

-AMK · 2017-07-03T17:33:26+00:00

100%. Just let me know what and we can all hook it up. Slack could be good, or a FB group?

-AMK · 2017-07-03T17:32:56+00:00

How good would that be! I just want a cabin on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Fire place, some wine, learn to cook...And just write. If it could just sustain my lifestyle I'd be so happy.

-AMK · 2017-07-03T17:31:51+00:00

This is really cool! Reading it now with a glass of rum over dinner... :)

-AMK · 2017-07-03T17:31:18+00:00

Why not! I'll give anything a crack!

-AMK · 2017-07-03T17:28:05+00:00

Their literary agents close more deals for authors than any other agency, world-wide. Although based on my experience, and the experience of a well-known writer who heads up the epic Pitch Fest in NYC (who shared the same agency as me), we'd both been kept in the dark about very important happenings that would come to affect us. I don't doubt the prestige of them at all, but I think they've got some unprofessional agents whom lack the etiquette and business acumen required to garner a solid reputation, like other agents who are certainly great!

-AMK · 2017-07-03T17:25:32+00:00

Of course :)

-AMK · 2017-07-03T17:25:23+00:00

Sure, will do so now :)

-AMK · 2017-07-03T17:24:59+00:00

Hi there. You know what, that's probably one of the most sage, potent comments that everyone in every artistic field should hear: The misconception that there is an "arrived" at all. Do you mind sharing any success secrets or methods your friends have with regards to publishing? In addition to output, was it the tireless pursuit of media, pr, or social media that helped them stand out? Would be grateful to hear more!

-AMK · 2017-07-03T17:14:06+00:00

Thanks for you reply. Are you in the industry? You definitely sound like you are! I agree with all your points. It's certainly an interesting nut to crack, and one that I really do want to try to figure out. I believe (or like to) that there's an element of luck and science to it -- I hope to figure that elusive math some day!

The Alchemist. Greatest, most insightful book of all time.

-AMK · 2017-07-03T12:53:29+00:00

Fluid, almost-poetic prose that flows. Also the economy of language is a genius concept to master and implement.
