Show 16 Speakers’ Corner Hyde Park London
July 20, 2008 01:19 PM PDT
This show covers the event at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park which involved myself and Jae Watson, another Legend Press author. I travelled to London to take part in this which was part of the London Lit Plus festival. This was the first time I had held my novel, ‘Silence’, in my hands, as I am given a review copy. There is my reaction to the book, discussion of the cover image and setting up the videoing of our speeches. Then you have my speech, including extracts, and then Jae’s speech. At the end I go home and show my book to my partner Alys, and get an emotional reaction. I am now a week away from the publication date and plan to record the launch, which will be in Cardiff Waterstone’s. ‘Silence’ is Waterstone’s Welsh Book of the Month for August so it is a very busy and exciting time for me. |
Podcast SummaryLesbian mother, writer and internet geek, Josie Henley-Einion talks about life, the universe and everything. An audio blog which leads to a publishing contract. About JosieCasting Pods is podcasting on the edge. Well, close to the corner, or maybe a bit round the bend. Anyway, it's me, Josie, talking about my life and stuff, playing my music and laughing with my son, my dog and taking the pee out of everything. I'm a blog-o-maniac, an internet freak and also some other rather ordinary things. If you're a mother, a cat-owner, a dog-owner, a lesbian, a writer, a reader, an artist, a TV watcher, a geek, a joker or anyone with a pulse, then there'll be something in my show for you. So come along and have a listen. I would rate the show as a PG in that it has mature content but is not explicit. But then it depends on your perception of the world. If you consider the words LESBIAN or FEMINIST or ANTI-WAR to be explicit and not fit for the ears of vulnerable youngsters with malleable minds, then you go ahead and feed them your own propaganda instead. They'll make up their own minds when they're older anyway. This show started out as an audio blog and travelogue but has progressed into ‘how I got my publishing contract’. My novel Silence was published in July 2008 and the most recent shows outline how this came about.
