Michael D. Scott - "A little more pragmatic, a little less contrite."


My News

Absolution, my first novel was due out on ARC. Unfortunately, on reading it myself I've realised, it was the first thing I ever wrote, and some of the writing could be improved. Publication has been delayed whilst it is being polished. Multiple agent's interest in Fibonacci's Child has thrown a spanner in the works. I'll need to get that one finished, post haste.

nb: - I made a scientific breakthrough! I can survive a whole bottle of Californian white wine with no long term effect. A Dell laptop is different! One glass and it's f**ked.

When I'm writing I have to be enjoying it. I've decided to post some of the lines that caused me to smile as a typed. Lines I have loved!

December 2008 - Joined Harper Collins Authonomy.  I found other authors also capable of world domination, perhaps.

March 2009 - The latest brainchild! I couldn't find an anthology of UK black authors. So, hey, let's just make our own. This is how I walk; in My Black Shoes has already stormed into the top 100 in the Harper Collins slush-pile.

As normal if you've got any thing to share.

The Rules of Screenwriting

I looked into screenwriting. I think that may have been around the time I started using the word - sucky.

In the Planning Stage

Stuff that's in my head looking to make a bid for freedom.

Harper Collins Authonomy

The first on-line major publisher's slush-pile. I joined. Big mistake!

What the Agent said

On behalf of other authors. I accosted literary agent Eve White with their questions. No more hearsay, she provided answers.
