Join us for the weekly live show that looks at manuscripts from four aspiring authors... _________________________________________________________ Join us live in the YouTube chat room every Sunday at 5pm UK / 12noon EST _________________________________________________________ Featured on today's show: * Tim Rees, an author with a BBC drama department background and seven published novels, has just released his first YA and SciFi novel, "Anu". With his memoir "In Service: The Story Of A Welsh Guardsman" already published, Tim has also recently written a film script and turned it into a novella. YA/SciFi / Narrated by Emily Rainsford * Paul Rand, an engineer turned secondary school maths and business teacher, has discovered a love for writing alongside their teaching career. Their talent for storytelling was showcased through the performance of their fifteen-minute play, 'The Other Foot,' at Theatre Deli in London, and the selection of a sketch they wrote for CBBC's 'Class Dismissed.' Committed to creating inclusive spaces, Paul Rand actively supports the student-led QSA (Queer Straight Alliance) at their school. Their debut novel, "Joe with an E," offers a thought-provoking exploration of a gender-identity focused flipped world, drawing inspiration from Malorie Blackman's 'Noughts and Crosses.' Adult speculative / Narrated by Jon Duffy * Bill Leesman is a father of two adult special needs children and a volunteer for the Special Olympics. He has "Dancing Under Grey Skies" to share his three decades of experience living in a parallel world. With a broad scope of industry experience, Bill hopes to help those with special needs achieve their potential. Literary / Upmarket / Narrated by M.E. Lewis * Miara Truog Sebouhian is a nineteen-year-old freshman at Ursinus College in Pennsylvania, studying English. She is from Northern California and has faced numerous challenges, including homelessness and the Sonoma County fires. Her most challenging accomplishment is her first book, "Sisters and the Long Lost Bloodlines," which she hopes will create a world for readers to escape into with characters with whom they can relate.
