BAFTA'S OUTLOOK IS ANTI-WRITER: Leading TV writers, including Tony Jordon whose credits include Eastenders and Hustle, have accused BAFTA of ignoring the contribution writers make to film and television.
'I think that the writer's role is somewhat overlooked by the BAFTA awards,' Tony Holland said. 'They are so frequently gushing about an actor finding his or her character, surely they should be equally gushing about the person who created that character in the first place. It all starts with the written word.'
FORGET CHICK-LIT, ANIMAL-LIT IS THE NEXT BIG THING: Animallit, as the Guardian's Alison Flood called it, is looking like becoming the next big sub-genre. Alison reviewed Casper, The Commuting Cat which is the latest in a slew of animal memoirs to his shelves. The animal based books are selling so well that publishers are hoping this will save the beleaguered biography market.
Do you really want to be a writer? A recent Society of Authors report stated that only seven per cent of all writers in the UK make a reasonable living from their craft. That means that 97% do not.
