Today, we get straight down to business. Whiskey business! More specifically, Whiskey Tit business!!

Another whiskey aficionado joins us drunken boobs to discuss whiskey, books, the publishing industry, and tits. That’s right! Miette Gillette from Whiskey Tit brings her unique perspective of the book publishing industry (as a publisher herself) and graces us with some insider knowledge. We talk about the origin of Whiskey Tit (and how it got its name), the cultural need for experimental literature, the importance of cover letters in the submission process, what role AI plays in the publishing industry, and many more interesting topics.

For some truly great and possibly outlandish literature, be sure to check out Whiskey Tit.

#229: How To Fix Bad Writing And A Secret Book Club – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

In today's cold open, we read from Edmund Spenser's epic fantasy poem, The Faerie Queene. We also discuss the Arthurian language used and why the work is so difficult to read. After that, we settle down and talk about bad writing and ways to fix it! We cover an article on the subject from http://www.aliventures.com, which gives some great examples of bad writing and tips on how to fix it. Of course, we share some of the things we've learned over the years and how we go about crafting stories. Finally, after the outro music, we have a secret book club for you! And no, Spencer is not involved in this one. It's the brand new Book Creepers Club!
