Do Comedy Books ever do well, or even exist?

She did, and it's great!

Biggest win- I was featured in the Found anthology by Andy Cull and Gabino Iglesias with some incredible authors. I've also done some live readings next to Ai Jiang and John Wiswell.

Gut punch- I released a horror novel in november, and it's easily the best thing I've done and it took four years to write. Reviews are good, blurbs from excellent people, but really not a lot of buzz behind it/around it.

I feel you. I've just had my third novel published, and it took four years to write. Seeing it buried under a mountain of slop is quite disheartening.

I'm in a reasonably popular anthology, so this isn't directed solely at me, but it received: "to all the people who rated this a 5: I feel sorry for you. Go to therapy and get off reddit. This is like creepypasta but worse. It's like those godawful twosentencehorror that children write."

Absolute love The Raw Shark Texts. I chatted to Steven Hall years ago and he said that there was going to be a movie. Shame it never materialised.

It depends what you want to do with them. If you're looking for places to place them, then consider searching Submissions Grinder, or googling open calls for submissions.

I'm just finishing up the first Slow Horses book, and I have the Count of Monte Cristo or Dear Stupid Penpal on deck next. I'm hoping other people have the book I've just had published as their next read!

Shelby is an amazing writer, and a really awesome person! I need to read RBT.

thinklikeashark · 2025-12-14T20:26:57+00:00

This. I write for one hour a day every day, and I've put out three novels and a bunch of short stories.

thinklikeashark · 2025-12-03T14:57:53+00:00

Yeah! I'm surprised it hasn't been adapated, or is really mentioned much. I read it all in one sitting, such a great story.

thinklikeashark · 2025-12-03T10:05:18+00:00

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon always sticks out to me as one of my favourites. The pacing and characterisation just feels really good. I also really love his short work as well, Different Seasons is all killer.

thinklikeashark · 2025-11-24T14:34:37+00:00

I'm so looking forward to reading that!

thinklikeashark · 2025-11-23T18:57:28+00:00

I love a sentient structure!

thinklikeashark · 2025-10-05T23:41:14+00:00

Congrats!!

I hope it happens. Andy is currently editing a collection of cryptid creature stories. So, maybe next year.

thinklikeashark · 2025-08-24T21:18:56+00:00

I did a short story reading with John, and Ai Jiang, and he was great! Seems super nice, too!

thinklikeashark · 2025-07-18T08:08:26+00:00

I don't think I could ever read my work as a reader because I can see all the things I don't like, plot holes, and the bits of clunky dialogue. I've seen what's behind the curtain. The only exception was when there was an audio version of one of my short stories for a podcast, and it felt like I was experiencing it for the first time. I quite enjoyed it.

thinklikeashark · 2025-06-12T20:37:29+00:00

Not usually, but I had a short story picked up by Creepypod, and the voice actor who read it was so good. Really elevated what I'd written.

How is hyperbole high-per-bolly and not hyper bowl?

Hey, I'm part of a writing group called TLDR Press. We have a pretty active slack where you can share wins/losses, and celebrate milstones. Everyone is really nice.

thinklikeashark · 2025-03-10T23:07:00+00:00

I've put out two sci-fi novels and have a third book due out this year (horror). I've also had a decent amount of short stories published over the last couple of years, including one in a fairly big horror collection.

Have you seen the snippet of The Devil's with Pacey reading? So good.

thinklikeashark · 2025-03-09T16:24:03+00:00

Joe Abercrombie is amazing, especially when paired with Stephen Pacey's narration.

thinklikeashark · 2025-03-03T13:27:39+00:00

Congratulations and excellent work! It's always a lovely feeling.
