Wales in the movies - a blog

Promoting Wales in the USA

I have a Welsh / London film company looking to option my first two novels and possibly then making a film(s) of my crime thriller trilogy, although it's been a year and still no 'yes' from them yet

There are films and TV series made in Wales which are really good but there could be so much more.  The WAG is slow to react to this opportunity, the Netflix generation etc. and investment is very poor.  Hinterland is pretty good, although very samey now. Mark Whalberg is making a film in Cardiff at the moment, which is huge. Keeping Faith is alright and there is a TV drama, The Accident, which is excellent, airing at the moment.

Like all areas though, Wales is the poorest region of UK and needs massive investment. It is lacking big time though

Welsh Writers

Welsh Literature

Hi all

It's early days yet and I know I'm slow at adding new writers but have just started this little project:

Writers of Wales
A to Z database of all Welsh or Welsh connected authors past and present.
http://www.welshwriters.co.uk

I've put up the best or most famous first and am slowly adding more when time allows... I have a list of 100+ to go through so hope to get 200 by next year

Appreciate any shares of the web address etc.

Thanks

Dave

What Can We Do To Promote Anglo-Welsh Literature in The US?

Promoting Wales in the USA

I've sold over 1000 of my first novel - Ctrl-Alt-Delete - s9c6qU just by e-mailing friends and a few web sites (all in UK)- but I agree it's hard for Welsh writers to get noticed when the Taffia get all the grants, bursaries, magazines reviews, promotions etc. It's a closed shop in Wales unfortunately, on the plus side if you do manage to find those rare good writers you'll be in for a treat. Try John Evans, Eloise Williams, Sally Spedding, Catrin Collier, Amanda Weeks, Mike Jenkins, Rachel Trezise maybe?
