Saturday Show #42: F*!$ the Authors Guild
Summary: “Wait. You’re doing WHAT?” she said. “I’m writing a fairy tale… of OUR relationship,” I said. She said…<br> Plus, news about the latest lawsuit filed by Big Publishing Luddites, the Authors Guild, this time against Google Books, and the launch of the super-awesome Tim Ferriss Book Club! It’s a laughfest, a crybonanza, and chock full (as always) of literary fiction techniques and philosophy gleaned from the meetup.com-organized “Real Writers Critique Group” in sunny Austin, Texas. (New members always welcome — if you can handle honest criticism!)<br> Listen to the show <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/saturday-show-podcast/id451038870?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D4">on iTunes.com</a>.
