Something I've been working on...
I'm now officially allowed to talk about this. For the last couple of weeks I've been working on an essay for a forthcoming book about A Song of Ice and Fire. I turned in the first draft a few days ago and anticipate quite a lot of work to bring it up to standard, but I'm excited as this will be my first work published in book format (not to mention my first paid writing job ever).

ReplyDeleteNice! That is awesome. Congrats sir. You deserve it. I can't wait to hear more about it.
ReplyDeleteWell done Adam, you must be really pleased with this! When saw you tweeting over christmas about an essay I thought it was something for your site. Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty awesome, congrats.
ReplyDeleteCooool!!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! And very well deserved.
ReplyDeleteIs this book fan fiction do you have GRRM's permission? Is it related to The World of Ice and Fire in any way? Don't we already have more than enough ASOIF material out there whats the point of adding another accompanying book.
ReplyDeleteSo bad ass... Well done Good Ser *Golf Clap*
ReplyDeleteWell done son. Is this real money, not Smarties?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, I am looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteGRRM is aware of the book and suggested some of the writers for it. It's a non-fiction book 'about' ASoIaF and some of the themes, tropes and ideas it raises and uses.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteHopefully, there will be no contribution by Pearson Moore...
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will a bit more about it soon.
Congrats! Sounds interesting. There are essentially no other books/series I'd be interested in reading this sort of analysis/opinion on, but ASOIAF really does generate that kind of enthusiasm in people & I'm going to have to get me a copy!
ReplyDeleteMissed seeing this until now. Congrats. Hope you had fun writing about the topic, as essays can be a blast when it's a labor of love as well as a paid gig :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Wert! That is great news, best of luck moving forward. Always appreciate seeing your posts pop up on DM.
