Welcome to a new episode of I Read Somewhere That! It’s is a bumper issue, a whole nine minutes and twenty-six seconds and, for your listening convenience, the podcast is now available on YouTube as well as on Apple and all other podcast forums!
I take a look at what Amazon was going to be called before they settled on the moniker that changed our lives forever and, what was their original product? Plus, have Amazon changed their (already dubious) review processes? I chat about a controversial tweet about books needing a timeout, Canada’s non-fiction crisis, whether you should write a memoir or not and finally, should you write every day?
I also share my one tried and tested secret to having ten published books!
