Hello there,

This behind-the-scenes video is for paying subscribers, but everyone gets a free preview of the first few minutes.

This is a reading of a recent piece on my VIP Readers Club.

I talk about finishing books, keeping fit, using feedback from readers to improve my books, and eating flapjack.

Also, watching an amateur dramatic society putting on a play.

I hope you enjoy it.

Hello there,

Thank you so much to the paying subscribers - you make it possible for me to spend time going live like this, and your support also helps me to make recordings and write pieces for our newsletters which, I hope, will entertain my readers.

This live session was about my self-imposed ‘rules of writing, and I talk about the way those rules vary depending on the purpose of the writing and the intended audience.’

I’ll leave the video to do the talking.

Have a great weekend.

Take care and all the best,

Mikey

Me (author Michael Campling) reading the recent piece from the In No Particular Order section of my VIP Readers Club publication.

I recorded this in one take as if it were live, so there are a few missteps, but I like to think it adds to the experience - maybe that’s overoptimistic.

There will be more of these, so I ought to get better as I go along.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

Take care.

In today’s video I perform a reading of a recent piece from the In No Particular Order section called The Lost Art of Getting Lost. I recorded it in one go so it’s ‘recorded as live’.

This is something new I’m trying, so I hope you enjoy it.

Sorry about the gulping tea noises! I really did need that cuppa and didn't realise the mic would pick it up so well. I did say it was recorded as live, so it’s as near as you can get to visiting my writing room.
