Episode 14 - Fair's Fair

This episode we look at changes in Lightning Source and Kindle that affect authors, and consider the big question: should we expect fairness in the world of writing and publishing? Or, to put it another way, when it comes to writing, did McFly get it wrong? Another conundrum is whether the greatest enemy of creativity is expectation?

Huge thanks to Charles Topham (he appears in an earlier episode) who not only transformed the poor sound quality of the original recording but also encouraged me to put a blanket over my head. (I'm assuming just for recording sessions, but he may have a point.)

PATHFINDER, mentioned in this episode (I say mentioned - I mean 'plugged), is available here:
