Paul Mannering. Writer. Audio Drama Producer. Editor. Monday, May 21, 2012. Editors As A Species. Yes, editors are human. We have families, day jobs, hobbies, and our own writing, editing, submitting and re-writing to get on with. We did however take on the job of reviewing submissions for (in my case) anthologies and production scripts. So we don't complain. We do however read some of the most god-awful literature ever excreted from the backsides of some barely literate apes. Please never submit anythin...

If they aren’t there to be damsels in distress. Movie in the Riddick chronicle fits this trope to the absolute ideal. Riddick who is meant to be...

That he felt was better left in the hands of experienced women. The rain and crashing thunder outside made it difficult to hear the whine and click of his approaching assassin.

Acrux-Content: March 2010
http://acruxcontent.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 31, 2010. What Kirok did . in March. The first issue of Acrux for this year is shaping up nicely but it is taking longer because its bigger - MUCH bigger - than normal. Got some great submissions too! Has changed hands and the new management looks like continuing the site in the spirit that it has always been - unbiased, flame-retardant and fan-friendly. As Director of Media I understand that the audio and video centers which have been down for a while are to be resurrected. An amazing a...

TANKBREAD: Permuted Press Publishing Deal
http://tankbread.blogspot.com/2013/03/permuted-press-publishing-deal.html
Paul Mannering. Writer. Audio Drama Producer. Editor. Saturday, March 16, 2013. Permuted Press Publishing Deal. For me, the difference between a writer and an author is that authors have traditional publishing deals. The ones with advances on novels and publishing contracts with commercial entities.

There was a...
