Internet Authors Don't Need Fame
Tough being an author? Even tougher being a publisher! But in the world of Traditional Publishing there's all kinds of self-inflicted pain, most of which is no help to themselves, or their clients. Tune in with Mike Scantlebury and hear why he's an Internet Author, not bothering with the follow-my-leader of the last 250 years, now hopelessly out of date.

Alternatives to Great Riches
You wanna be rich? But what is 'rich'? If it's so important then why is rich publisher Felix Dennis giving away ninety per cent of what he's got? Is there anything else in life? More important, is there something for you? What do you want?

Internet Authors Don't Need Club Class
If you go into any supermarket in England and inspect the fruit, you may be pleased to see that some of the apples are bagged up and labelled 'Class 1'. However, looking around, you may be surprised to note that there aren't any corresponding bags marked 'Class 2'. It seems to be Class 1 or nothing!

Alternatives to Running For The Bus
I live in a highly urbanised area. Sometimes, as I'm driving down the street, I see someone running for the bus. It always makes me laugh.

Alternatives to Books
Why are people so dense? Why won't they do what's good for them? Men in white coats have been sweating in labs for many years to invent the perfect e-book reader, so why aren't they everywhere? Why can't people just ditch those smelly, crumbly, rotting woody things called 'books' and start living in Century 21?

Internet Authors Don't Need Timing
Unpublished authors are swamped by advice. Is any of it any good? Internet Author Mike Scantlebury comes out swinging, challenging the idea that 'timing is everything', especially away from the world of Traditional Publishing and out on the frontier of writing and the internet. It's a thrilling world out there, full of possibilities. Try it!

Alternatives to Heroes
Nobody said that life was easy, but why try and pretend that those who make a go of it are somehow superhuman? Because it excuses the rest of us. It can't be that we're laid back, lazy, lackadaisical and lecherous. No, it can't be. The few who achieve great things, we say, are somehow 'heroes', the rest of us aren't. Or aren't yet. Who knows, maybe we'll get the hint eventually.

Internet Authors Don't Need Nonsense
Okay, so you've written a book and you're looking for advice. It would be nice to hear from an 'expert'. Unfortunately, most people turn to publishers instead. What hopes have you got of learning anything? The internet author isn't impressed with the standards of feedback available, so hear his story.

Alternatives to Filling Teeth
There have been plenty of health 'scares' in recent years, but none more alarming than the one right under your very nose, that is, right in your mouth. Teeth fillings. They're harmless, right? Well, if you're a Baby Boomer, they'll be made of a metal amalgam that is mainly mercury. That's a poison, right? Maybe you need to know more.

Internet Authors Don't Need Cut-Offs
Close the doors. Don't let anyone else in. That seems to be the message from bureaucrats and rule makers the world over. Why? Is there really a question of Health and Safety? Or is it just that a man with a pen and a penchant for control has decided to make up a few rules, draw some boundaries and decide some outcomes. Is it necessary? Does it help?
