Hvad er ekstrem horror er for en størrelse og hvorfor den spiller en vigtig rolle i, ikke bare litteraturen, men alle genrer og vores liv uden for medierne?
Samtalen er rettet mod et voksent publikum med stærke maver. Eller som bare vil prøve deres grænser af. 📚 💙

Dragons!
Most cultures have stories of dragons, possibly inspired by dinosaur bones. The dragons are wildly different, but all still clearly dragons. What is a dragon? Why do dragon stories continue to fascinate and sell when other creatures come in and out of fashion? 💙 📚

Writing in English as a second language
For authors, the English language book market offers the potential for more readers and bigger advances. But how does one go about breaking into the biggest SF&F market if you are not a native English speaker? 💙📚

Sir Terry Pratchett var den elskede forfatter af mere en 50 bestseller bøger. Han blev især berømt for sin Discworld serie af humoristiske fantasy historier fyldt med hekse der (næsten) ikke bruger magi, troldmænd der helst ikke rejser uden for universitetets mange vægge, og meget, meget andet.
