Lissie
"I gotta keep my identity and focus on what I can do," goes the chorus of "Shameless," the first single from Lissie's new album, "Back to Forever." "I don't want to be famous, if I got to be shameless" she sings with equal parts strength and insecurity.It's less of an introduction to the Illinois-born/California-resident's second album and more of a laying out of her entire ideology in a three-minute song. It's classic Lissie, which is to say, every bit as frank as the songs on "Catching A Tiger," her 2010 debut album. "Catching A Tiger" has sold over 250,000 copies worldwide, been certified Gold in the UK and Norway and led to Paste Magazine naming her Best New Solo Artist. VH1 tapped her as a You Oughta Know artist and she received a Q Awards nomination for Best Breakthrough Artist.A similar directness, delivered by the Mezcal-and-cigarette voice that grabbed our attention on "Catching A Tiger," also infuses the other 11 tracks on "Back to Forever." Beyond that, Lissie defies characterization. She understands how much our apparent contradictions contribute to who we are -- like the observation of a new fan who described her as "so badass yet wholesome" -- and that identity is something fluid, not to be nailed down. Opinions -- of which she has plenty -- are just that, subject to change and not necessarily correct. "No one knows anything for certain, so to have a strong opinion, but also have a sense of humor about yourself is important," she observes.Lissie grew up in the heartland, in Rock Island, Illinois, near the mighty Mississippi, Unsurprisingly, the 2,500-mile-long river shaped her personality and inspired her songwriting."I used to think about all of the things that happened on the river over all that distance," she says. "It was exciting to think about how people, music, ideas and goods had travelled up and down its waters. There's this enthusiasm to it, but also this darkness -- it's taken lives, there's an incredible strength to its flow. The Mississippi gives such an energy to the Quad Cities (Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa, and Rock Island and Moline in Illinois), where I was born and bred."While she came from a big, loving family and moved in many circles -- from musical theatre to pickup truck cornfield keg parties soundtracked by both gangsta rap and country -- she never really felt like she belonged anywhere. "There was always this tension I felt in school and in my music lessons, like you couldn't stand out or think you were special," Lissie remembers. She rebelled and eventually got kicked out of high school. After a short stint at Colorado State University and a semester in Paris, she ditched college in order to concentrate on her music. She recorded the five-track EP "Why You Runnin'" with her friend Bill Reynolds of Band of Horses and worked with Reynolds and Jacquire King (Kings of Leon) on "Catching A Tiger."Scads of festival performances (including Coachella, Glastonbury, SXSW, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, V, Isle Of Wight, Bestival and Secret Garden Party), television appearances and film/TV song placements followed plus a live CD/DVD of her sold-out show at London's Shepherd's Bush. The five-song 2011 EP "Covered Up With Flowers" that featured Lissie's take on songs like Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance," Kid Cudi's "Pursuit Of Happiness" and Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" highlight her diverse tastes. She's even begun developing her own blend of mezcal (that's booze made from the agave plant)."With my first album, my heart was broken from this tumultuous relationship I'd been in, so I had that fresh hurt on my mind. This time around, that wasn't the case," says Lissie. "A lot of the songs on the new record are love songs, but from different angles. Time has passed. With that detachment came the ability to be objective and tell a much better, more well rounded story.""Shameless," written in London on Valentine's Day 2012 during sessions with Jim Irvin and Julian Emery, was one of the first tracks she recorded. Lissie returned to the States and teamed up with Garret "Jacknife" Lee (R.E.M., Snow Patrol, Silversun Pickups) later in the year."I went out to his place in Topanga Canyon, just outside of L.A. It was such a beautiful setting to record in, no dark cave of a studio, but mountain views and open doors with fresh air while I sang. I took my band with me (Eric Sullivan, Lewis Keller and newcomer Jesse Siebenberg) and we got to work. We just had a blast!" Jacknife was such a supportive, creative and fun producer to work with," recalls Lissie. Special guests Catherine and Allison Pierce of The Pierces and Barbara Gruska (Belle Brigade) dropped by to record backing vocals."The Habit," another track on the new album, is a soaring, searing plea to break the cycle of addiction, whether to a person, substance or anything else while "I Don't Wanna Go To Work," an anthem for the under-appreciated, points up exactly where a college education will get a person these days: mired in debt and stuck in a thankless job.Of the latter song, she says: "We just work and work and work. When you're young you have all these hopes and dreams for the future, then suddenly 20 years have gone by and all those dreams have slipped away. 'I Don't Wanna Go To Work' is bit of a sad song really, 'cause it's about accepting the way things are but staying out late and drinking too much on a work night and expressing your frustration and defiance about it. That's your moment and no one can take it from you. I hope that the world moves in a direction where education helps kids figure out what they are truly good at and enjoy doing. There are so many different kinds of people, I'd imagine we have enough complementary skills for it to work."Sunkissed mid-70s West Coast melodies are all over this second album and if there's wisdom in the lyrics, there's urgency and energy in the playing. "It's hard to put into words how much I love what I do," says Lissie, summing up. "I'm just telling stories that most people can relate to, I think. I sing with full pain and joy and it's gratifying when people hunker down and get in there with me at shows."

Lovecraft eZine issue 30 (Volume 30)
Lovecraft eZine issue 30 (Volume 30)
Mike Davis asked me to guest edit a King in Yellow issue of The Lovecraft eZine and I was quick to say yes. For various reasons, there were many I did not get the chance to invite to A Season in Carcosa, so I looked at my old list and asked who might like to book a room in the Tower of Gloom. Everyone said they'd love to come to Carcosa for a season, but sadly life got in the way for some and they could not come and play. Happily the others braved greyness and rain and walked, carrying their strange imaginations, across the cloudwaves. It is with great pleasure that The Lovecraft eZine (and your humble editor) presents these tributes to the dark imagination of weird fiction master, Robert W. Chambers. I hope you enjoy these glimpses into the dim and lonely places of Carcosa. Joseph S. Pulver, Sr.

Young The Giant
Young The Giant
with Ra Ra Riot
Los Angeles quintet Young the Giant continue to brave new sonic landscapes with their wildly adventurous third album Home of the Strange (due out August 12). On this new release, the band explores their expansive musicianship with boldly eclectic arrangements anchored by a keen melodic presence.To direct the band's continued evolution, they collaborated with producer Alex Salibian (Elle King, Mikky Ekko) and Executive Producer Jeff Bhaskar, 2016 Grammy winner for Producer of the Year. Thematically, Home Of The Strange builds from the opening track "Amerika", a song inspired by Franz Kafka's posthumously published and unfinished novel of the same name. The members of Young the Giant are all the sons of immigrants, with a majority of the band being first generation Americans. They can relate to Kafka's story of Karl, a sixteen year old who flees Germany under uncertain circumstances. He becomes a stowaway on a ship headed to NY and the book tells the tale of a bizarre coming of age story of a boy caught between the cultures of two worlds, struggling to belong."We find ourselves searching for our own ethics in between the often-contradictory beliefs of this polarized American Modern Age and those of the romanticized cultures of our forefathers," the band explains. "Our perspective is irreversibly tinged with this rhetoric of the immigrant conscience and guilt. 'Amerika' explores the contradictions of our psyche and America at large. Searching for the American Dream is to lust for excess, power, sex. There is wonderment. There is disappointment. On this rollercoaster ride, we realize that when we achieve our goals, they often leave us more hollow than before. Behind it all, we just want to feel at home, to belong, and to be loved." Home of the Strange is the follow up to 2014's Mind Over Matter, which was both a commercial and critical success. In addition to scoring a Top 10 debut on the Soundscan/Billboard 200 chart and Top 5 Alternative Radio hit with "It's About Time," the album received a raft of praise from Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, and The New York Times who not only raved about how "...the group gobbles up bits of several segments of rock history - prog-rock, boogie metal, Southern rock, soft rock, new wave, dance-rock, and more - and claims ownership of them" but also declared frontman Sameer Gadhia as "one of the great contemporary rock voices." Young the Giant first broke through with their 2010 self-titled debut album, which featured the RIAA-gold certified smashes, "My Body" and "Cough Syrup." Since then, the band has toured the world, performing numerous sold-out headlining tours and have become a festival mainstay at high profile outings such including Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza, Outsidelands and Governor's Ball among others.

He is excited to pass along the torch of knowledge through his students at Script Anatomy. ----- TESTIMONIALS "What is unique about this class is Jason." The class was great - Jason provided us with a structured environment where we could share ideas and get instant feedback. This is immensely valuable for writers who are normally off in their sad caves, wondering if anything they're doing is worth a damn. What was unique about this class, is Jason. He's a comedy writer himself, and has a great sense of humor - something far too many people lack. He gets jokes. He gets pop culture references. He isn't offended by a couple of bad words. Having someone who "gets it" reading my work was too valuable to explain. Jason's fun personality and nurturing attitude made everyone in the class feel good about what they were doing. He was supportive and encouraging, even when people didn't necessarily deserve it. He was just awesome! - Chris Turner __________________________ "I would definitely take one of Jason's classes again and highly recommend it to anyone looking to write a comedy pilot." "Advanced Comedy Pilot Lab is a great class! And Jason is an amazing teacher. Not only does he give great lectures and detailed notes that help enhance our writing, his encouragement and sense of humor make him great to be around. Also, the structure of presenting our beat sheets to the room not only helps with improving our stories, but feels like the atmosphere of a real writers room which was great. I'm very happy with the pilot I got out of his class and am thankful to Jason for that. I would definitely take one of Jason's classes again and highly recommend it to anyone looking to write a comedy pilot." ~ Jamie Levey __________________________ "I genuinely looked forward to every class and laughed and learned so much from Jason and my other classmates." "First of all, I have loved every Script Anatomy teacher that I've had, but it was such a treat to take a comedy-focused class, and Jason Romaine is the perfect person to teach it. (Seriously, where do they find these people?!) Jason is so funny, so you know you're learning from the best. He really knows comedy, story, characters, and dialogue, and he gives such specific, helpful notes to help you write the best version of your pilot and vision. The class is a great mix of analysis, lecture, and feedback. Jason even brought in his own agent and manager to answer our questions. I genuinely looked forward to every class and laughed and learned so much from Jason and my other classmates. If you're a comedy writer and you've taken Televisionary, take Advanced Comedy Pilot Lab with Jason Romaine. Now. You'll come out with a solid first draft, detailed notes to write the second draft, and new friends. Writing a comedy pilot has never been so fun!" ~ Joanne Lee ________ ABOUT SCRIPT ANATOMY'S FOUNDER Tawnya Bhattacharya is a writer, writing instructor and founder of Script Anatomy, a writing school that helps television and screenwriters reach their writing goals and elevate their craft through classes, workshops and private consultations. Bhattacharya's teaching career began at Writers Boot Camp from 2005 – 2008. Having seen writers struggle through the process, there, it became apparent what was missing, so she created Script Anatomy – a unique curriculum to give writers practical development, writing and rewriting tools based on her own process. She launched Script Anatomy in 2011, just as she was embarking on her own writing career. Uniquely Bhattacharya brings both a ten-year teaching background and professional writing experience to Script Anatomy's curriculum. She is currently a Writer/Co-Producer on NBC's "The Night Shift", and formerly wrote on TNT's "Perception", "The Client List" at Lifetime and onUSA's "Fairly Legal," with her writing partner, Ali Laventhol. Repped by ICM Partners and Rain Management Group, they are former NBC Writers on the Verge fellows, winning one of 8 spots out of 1200 applicants. The team also made semi-finalists for the ABC Disney Fellowship before getting a job that took them out of the running. Tawnya was also a FOX Writer's Intensive fellow (FOX optioned her semi-autobiographical pilot). Script Anatomy TV workshop alums and private clients have sold shows to or been staffed on several major networks, including: Showtime, NBC, ABC Family, USA, Sony. SA writers have also made the semi-final and finalist round or won coveted spots on several Network Writing Program Fellowships and contests, incuding: Warner Brother Writers Workshop, NBC Writers On the Verge, CBS Writers Fellowship, Fox Diversity, ABC Disney Fellowship, NHMC (National Hispanic Media Coalition), Nicholl Fellowship in Writing, Final Draft's Big Break, Scriptapalooza, Page Screenwriting Contest and more. For more about Script Anatomy visit www.scriptanatomy.com ----- TESTIMONIALS "Tawnya gives excellent notes to others on their creative process. She clearly understands the craft of writing. Her writing and her ability to connect with others will take her very far in the entertainment business." Tawnya is a dream to work with. She is a very talented writer! I believe her creative process will take her very far in this business. Her writing is poetic, lyrical and shows depth and complexity. She is every bit as strong on the page as she is in the room. She gives excellent notes to others on their creative process. She clearly understands the craft of writing. Her writing and her ability to connect with others will take her very far in the entertainment business. I highly recommend Tawnya. -- Jen Grisanti, Story/Career Consultant Jen Grisanti Consultancy Inc., Writing Instructor with NBC for Writers on the Verge, author of the book Story Line: Finding Gold In Your Life Story, blogger for The Huffington Post __________________________ "If you want to jump start your writing career, Script Anatomy is the perfect place." If you want to jump start your writing career, Script Anatomy is the perfect place. Tawnya's tools for structure and story pushed me to take my work to the next level. She showed me how to channel my ideas in an organized and systematic way. In her advanced pilot lab she aligned us as a team from day one, coached us from presenting an idea from concept, to pitch, to script. She ran the class like a writers' room so we could get a sense of the real world requirements of working on staff. Because she has worked as a TV writer for years, Tawnya brings her experience and all the lessons that she's learned into class and gives you the tools to navigate the room. Tawnya's approach is keenly-sharp and nurturing in a professional and enthusiastic way, all while keeping an eye on delivering the best story possible. Script Anatomy delivers tenfold. - April Fitzsimmons (Staff writer ABC's SECRETS & LIES, ABC Family's STITCHERS, 2013/2014 ABC/Disney Fellowship, Repped by APA & Brillstein) __________________________ "I had high hopes walking into Tawnya's Script Anatomy Televisionary Workshop. My expectations were blown out of the water." I had high hopes walking into Tawnya's Script Anatomy Televisionary Workshop. My expectations were blown out of the water. Tawnya's class was constructive, supportive and insightful. She isn't afraid to give you the notes you need to hear. Even better, she supports you with the right tools to squeeze out the talent. I'm truly amazed at how much my writing was elevated after going through her workshop. And when looking around at the other writers she mentors, I'm impressed to see that I'm not the only one. If you've got the talent, Tawnya can foster it and bring it to the next level. I seriously can't express how great she is. I'm so glad I walked into that Script Anatomy workshop and feel so privileged to have Tawnya on my side, helping me through the world of TV writing. – Daireen Galeano (NLMC/NHMC TV Writing Program Fellow, 2012/2013 CBS Writing Program Fellow) __________________________ "Tawnya is extremely knowledgeable and supportive and I recommend her to anyone seeking a teacher." What sets Tawnya apart from other teachers I've had is her unmatched enthusiasm for the art and craft of writing. She has a deep understanding of what makes stories work, and is great at communicating that to her students. Her class was always warm and open, but also very focused. People were encouraged to speak up, but if things got off topic, she would get everyone focused on writing again. Tawnya is extremely knowledgeable and supportive and I recommend her to anyone seeking a teacher. -- Kiyong Kim (2010-2011 Nickelodeon Writing Fellowship recipient, 2012/2013 NBC Writers On The Verge Fellow, blogger @ Kiyong's Blog of Creative Pursuits) __________________________ "Tawnya was the best screenwriting instructor I could have asked for." Tawnya was the best screenwriting instructor I could have asked for. I am certainly a better writer for having had her as my teacher and am very lucky to have her continued support. She has a wonderful ability to get to the heart of storytelling with clear insight and determined precision. She has a no-nonsense style with a nurturing heart. I endorse her teaching one hundred percent. -- Wendy B., Screen & TV Writer __________________________ "Tawnya Bhattacharya is like a screenwriting personal trainer." Everyone has an idea. But to turn that idea into a 100-page screenplay takes dedication, discipline and hours of work. Tawnya Bhattacharya is like a screenwriting personal trainer. She'll help you to whip that underdeveloped 98-pound weakling of an idea into a full-blown feature-length commercial screenplay. You'll love the results. -- Tim Grant (Optioned writer, Repped by UTA, Optioned Screenwriter & Blogger @ Post-Mortem Depression __________________________ "Her class stands out in the overly saturated arena of TV writing classes, books, and seminars." "As a working television writer, Tawnya understands the inner function (or dysfunction) of "the writer." This, coupled with her innate gift for teaching, make her class stand out in the overly saturated arena of TV writing classes, books, and seminars. Not only was her class informational, enhancing both my story and structure skills, but it was inspirational, fun, and offered a supportive environment for every participant. But, what really matters is this: Tawnya made my work better." -- Eva Taylor (2014/15 NBC Writers on the Verge Fellow, 2012/13 & 2013/14 NBC Writers On the Verge Finalist) __________________________ "This workshop is worth its weight in gold!" The Televisionary Writers Workshop was one of the most valuable, most enjoyable, and most meaningful experiences I've had in my writing career. And I promise you that's not hyperbole. As a working television writer, Tawnya is a wealth of information -- information that is current and up-to-the-minute. Tawnya's years of teaching and private coaching experience are beyond evident, and show up in her deep wisdom, perspective, and savvy. And all of this is delivered with clarity, humor, and an honesty that's always supportive. This workshop is worth its weight in gold! -- Blaed Spence (journalist and tv writer) __________ For more class photos, click HERE

She launched Script Anatomy in 2011, just as she was embarking on her own writing career. Uniquely Bhattacharya brings both a ten-year teaching background and professional writing experience to Script Anatomy's curriculum. She is currently a Writer/Co-Producer on NBC's "The Night Shift", and formerly wrote on TNT's "Perception", "The Client List" at Lifetime and onUSA's "Fairly Legal," with her writing partner, Ali Laventhol. Repped by ICM Partners and Rain Management Group, they are former NBC Writers on the Verge fellows, winning one of 8 spots out of 1200 applicants. The team also made semi-finalists for the ABC Disney Fellowship before getting a job that took them out of the running. Tawnya was also a FOX Writer's Intensive fellow (FOX optioned her semi-autobiographical pilot). Script Anatomy TV workshop alums and private clients have sold shows to or been staffed on several major networks, including: Showtime, NBC, ABC Family, USA, Sony. SA writers have also made the semi-final and finalist round or won coveted spots on several Network Writing Program Fellowships and contests, incuding: Warner Brother Writers Workshop, NBC Writers On the Verge, CBS Writers Fellowship, Fox Diversity, ABC Disney Fellowship, NHMC (National Hispanic Media Coalition), Nicholl Fellowship in Writing, Final Draft's Big Break, Scriptapalooza, Page Screenwriting Contest and more.

If you want to jump start your writing career, Script Anatomy is the perfect place. Tawnya's tools for structure and story pushed me to take my work to the next level. She showed me how to channel my ideas in an organized and systematic way. In her advanced pilot lab she aligned us as a team from day one, coached us from presenting an idea from concept, to pitch, to script.

My expectations were blown out of the water." I had high hopes walking into Tawnya's Script Anatomy Televisionary Workshop. My expectations were blown out of the water. Tawnya's class was constructive, supportive and insightful. She isn't afraid to give you the notes you need to hear. Even better, she supports you with the right tools to squeeze out the talent. I'm truly amazed at how much my writing was elevated after going through her workshop. And when looking around at the other writers she mentors, I'm impressed to see that I'm not the only one. If you've got the talent, Tawnya can foster it and bring it to the next level. I seriously can't express how great she is. I'm so glad I walked into that Script Anatomy workshop and feel so privileged to have Tawnya on my side, helping me through the world of TV writing. – Daireen Galeano (NLMC/NHMC TV Writing Program Fellow, 2012/2013 CBS Writing Program Fellow) __________________________ "Tawnya is extremely knowledgeable and supportive and I recommend her to anyone seeking a teacher." What sets Tawnya apart from other teachers I've had is her unmatched enthusiasm for the art and craft of writing. She has a deep understanding of what makes stories work, and is great at communicating that to her students. Her class was always warm and open, but also very focused. People were encouraged to speak up, but if things got off topic, she would get everyone focused on writing again. Tawnya is extremely knowledgeable and supportive and I recommend her to anyone seeking a teacher. -- Kiyong Kim (2010-2011 Nickelodeon Writing Fellowship recipient, 2012/2013 NBC Writers On The Verge Fellow, blogger @ Kiyong's Blog of Creative Pursuits) __________________________ "Tawnya was the best screenwriting instructor I could have asked for."

I endorse her teaching one hundred percent. -- Wendy B., Screen & TV Writer __________________________ "Tawnya Bhattacharya is like a screenwriting personal trainer." Everyone has an idea. But to turn that idea into a 100-page screenplay takes dedication, discipline and hours of work. Tawnya Bhattacharya is like a screenwriting personal trainer. She'll help you to whip that underdeveloped 98-pound weakling of an idea into a full-blown feature-length commercial screenplay. You'll love the results. -- Tim Grant (Optioned writer, Repped by UTA, Optioned Screenwriter & Blogger @ Post-Mortem Depression __________________________ "Her class stands out in the overly saturated arena of TV writing classes, books, and seminars." "As a working television writer, Tawnya understands the inner function (or dysfunction) of "the writer." This, coupled with her innate gift for teaching, make her class stand out in the overly saturated arena of TV writing classes, books, and seminars. Not only was her class informational, enhancing both my story and structure skills, but it was inspirational, fun, and offered a supportive environment for every participant. But, what really matters is this: Tawnya made my work better." -- Eva Taylor (2014/15 NBC Writers on the Verge Fellow, 2012/13 & 2013/14 NBC Writers On the Verge Finalist) __________________________ "This workshop is worth its weight in gold!" The Televisionary Writers Workshop was one of the most valuable, most enjoyable, and most meaningful experiences I've had in my writing career. And I promise you that's not hyperbole. As a working television writer, Tawnya is a wealth of information -- information that is current and up-to-the-minute. Tawnya's years of teaching and private coaching experience are beyond evident, and show up in her deep wisdom, perspective, and savvy. And all of this is delivered with clarity, humor, and an honesty that's always supportive. This workshop is worth its weight in gold! -- Blaed Spence (journalist and tv writer) __________ For more class photos, click HERE

Writing Full Time - Moonlight Your Way To A Writing Career
If writing is a hobby for you, perhaps you wish you could make it a full time career. Imagine never having to commute again: you'd save a lot of time. This is time which you could spend with your family, or doing the things you enjoy.
So let's look at how you can moonlight your way to a writing career, and make more money than you're making now.
"Moonlighting" means taking a second job to supplement your day job's income. Many writers moonlight, and then go full time when they're ready. You can speed up this process, with the following four tips.
1. Writing full time is a decision - make the decision now
You can make the transition to a full time writing career from moonlighting if you decide that that's what you want to do, and make plans to achieve that goal.
When planning the transition, here's what you will need before you quit your day job:
* Savings - aim to have a cushion of several months' income;
* An "anchor" client.
You'll need to have some savings. Save up the income you make from moonlighting until you've saved the equivalent of six months' salary. This gives you a cushion and some security. You may become ill, or a family member may become ill, so having savings is essential.
You also need an an "anchor" client. This is a client who pays you enough to pay your rent or mortgage. Having an anchor client who pays you regularly means that your most pressing bills will be paid, even if other clients pay you slowly. You may have several clients who buy from you each month, and who make up that anchor client role.
2. Make time to write - get up an hour earlier
The easiest way to get your writing done when you're moonlighting is to get up an hour earlier, and write then. You're fresh, your mind is uncluttered by the stresses and strains of the day.
The danger of waiting to write until your working day is done, is that you may never get to your writing. When you're tired, you'll give in to the seduction of the TV, or the demands of others in your household.
Write first.
3. Your career is just words away - making contact with the people who can buy your writing
When you're writing as a hobby, finding buyers for your writing can be approached haphazardly. However, when you're moonlighting, making writing your full time career depends on how quickly you can both write, and find buyers for your writing.
Therefore, make marketing your writing a task you do every day. If you only have an hour a day to moonlight, spend half an hour writing, and the other half hour sending your writing to the people who can buy your writing.
4. Starting out is hard: it gets easier
Keep a writing log. Write down how much time you've spent writing, what you wrote, and what you've sent out to editors and clients. Your writing log is important, because you can look back at your log, and see that you're making progress, even when nothing seems to be happening.
When you start selling your writing, it will take three to six months before you're selling consistently. Because your progress seems slow, it's easy to lose motivation. So enter everything you do into your log: it will motivate you until sales provide their own motivation.
