Written by Tash Aw, We The Survivors is as good a read as any I have found.

He has a comfortable, easy style and his narrative about nothing much, held my attention, despite everything it was not. If there was a theme it was grinding poverty and the futility of trying to change things that remain the same. Life inevitably returning to where it begins.

Watercycler is my alter ego I suppose.

He is an adventurous bike riding river swimming rock climbing (but only under protest when trying to keep up with even more adventurous friends) guy who had the misfortune to have been raised by book burrowing English teachers. So he’s not really an alter ego at all, he’s me. Nice name, I like it, think I’ll keep it.

Watercycler will write copy of any description. From hyperbole filled flare to critical pieces and more explanatory brochures.

Need a few thousand words on topics as diverse as agriculture, conservation, fine dining, art, philosophy, physiology, or how tea tastes and why you should put thyme on your eggs?

I could use people who can write. But it seems you either end up with people who cant or writers you cant afford. Is there no middle road? This is what I am looking for.

One in a series. Factual fiction set in third century Rome.

Interesting and an enjoyable read.

Supposedly written by John le Carre, Single & Single was a nasty shock.

It irritated me from the first couple of lines. Hollow and unconvincing, the book didn’t improve and I abandoned it very quickly.

Previously I have read and thoroughly enjoyed reading, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Little Drummer Girl as well as his Spy Who Came In From The Cold. But this book was disappointing and badly written, raising the question of whether John le Carre is not overrated as a writer and capitalising on the success of his earlier books.

Another well written, pretentious, boring literary masterpiece.

Arrrgh!

Another dud. Didnt get past the first few pages

According to Google Nikki Ridley is the only journalist and ghost writer on the Garden Route which for “a nook of the country that offers inspiration to the writers and artists whose presence gives it a trendy flavour”, this is a pretty poor showing. But at the same time it should be seen as both a challenge as well as an opportunity.

A challenge that took me all of three weeks to get this site to rank alongside hers and an opportunity to add some real value to what I have started. It’s not difficult to do. To the contrary anyone could do the same with little or no training.

And this brings me to the point of this post. What is it that is stopping us from making use of these sort of tools to open doors into the global market place? What is stopping us from setting up and and growing a local cottage based industry that is not driven by the erratic and unpredictable tourist traffic everyone sits back waiting for? And this is a direct challenge to every single one of those would be ghost writers to change the way it appears not to be.

We are looking for a newspaper that will be kind enough to mentor us. To track and record our little successes and more often than hoped for, failures. We are looking for writers who will let us have short sharp monthly features of two hundred words or less in return for us promoting and marketing their sites and or services. We want to build a workshop for emerging writers that does really work and it can be done if enough people have enough reasons to make it happen.
