  • I enjoyed listening to Seth's ideas and agree that they make sense. Thanks Seth.
  • One of the greatest lines I saw recently was, ‘Some of the poorest people I know only have money,’ so to hear Seth talking about the merit in writing for a niche and your own kind tribe really thrills me. To be honest I have written two novels before I wrote The Far Out Café. My first novel was compared to Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett I didn’t make the connection until it was pointed out to me. I was told that my second novel just want commercially viable. So, I wrote The Far Out Café solely and only for myself and as such see this as my best work. I would really welcome any support in securing reviews for the book and appreciate any feedback as to how I might find my 'tribe'. I have just self published The Far Out Café and it is available on Amazon. Thank you very much indeed All best wishes Stuart
  • Well done, good talking, as you said it is always better to people who can read and agree with your ideas.
  • Seth, I really enjoyed this, as I am somewhat zeroed in on a niche... Is it possible to get your information to add you to my circle? Dr. Rob
