Caleb opens the episode by updating the world on his most recent woes with Alan Moore’s Jerusalem. This time, he does so while drinking a rancid beer.

The main topic of the day is how to submit short stories, flash fiction pieces, and poetry to literary magazines and journals. We discuss the proper ways to submit, give some tips on how to improve your chances of getting accepted, and we talk about some of the differences between submitting to literary journals and genre publications. There’s a lot of great info in this one.

#219: Books We Want To See Turned Into Movies – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

The government has decided to pay us not to work and instead focus on our art! Or at least that's the scenario we discuss in today's cold open. What would you do with your free time if you received a universal basic income and no longer had to work a day job? After that, and on the back of Andy Weir's hit book turned movie, Project Hail Mary, we learn about plans for a new sci-fi flick adapted from a popular book series. This leads us to a conversation about what books, sci-fi and others, that we would like to see adapted into a movie or TV series.
