101: Last Tango In Halifax - with Matthew Smith

<p>The Hobcast Book Show has been on its travels again, braving snow and fog to attend Halifax Noir at the invitation of our former guests and great friends, <a href='https://adrianhobart.podbean.com/e/episode-91-yorkshire-s-crime-writing-super-duo-with-r-c-bridgestock/'>R C Bridgestock</a>. It was a chance to talk all things crime and books, and take a realistic look at the state of the UK publishing market as we approach Christmas. We also caught up with <a href='https://exprimez.com/'>Matthew Smith</a>, who recently made the switch from publisher to literary agent. As he tells us, it's a tough world out there.</p> <p>Also this week, as a major survey reveals a huge drop in author incomes, Adrian and Rebecca ask if there's anything that can be done to help writers make a living from their work?</p> <p><a href='https://exprimez.com/'>Home - Exprimez</a></p> <p></p>
