In this debut episode (available to watch as a full video episode on YouTube), we bring you all the latest writing news as we see encouraging reports about physical book sales, hear why self-published authors are often doing better than their trad published counterparts and look across to America, where a Hollywood writers' strike is looming. Plus, we look at some of the big book deals from the London Book Fair, and are joined by guest author Sam Holland to talk about the ever-shrinking price of ebooks and ask if that is good for authors.

Sam also tells us about her latest book, The Twenty, and we play a quick game (which Marco manages to mess up!)
