His impact continues through his extensive, award-winning contributions to manga and animation.WHAT'S INCLUDED?

    Where do our everyday words come from? The bagel you eat for breakfast, the bumf you have to wade through at the office, and the bus that takes you home again: we use these words without thinking about their origins or how their meanings have changed over time. Simon Horobin takes the listener on a journey through a typical day, showing how the words we use to describe routine activities—getting up, going to work, eating meals—have surprisingly fascinating histories.

    There are only, in my humble opinion, two kinds of readers: Readers who love your books and readers who don’t know they love your books yet. But how do you reach those readers in the second category, no matter what kind of writer you are? 
    The answer to that question is…Universal Fantasy 
    Universal Fantasy is why my sales tripled when I “accidentally” wrote three books that landed in the Amazon Top 100. 
    Universal Fantasy is why some authors get gobs of gushing reviews and some authors who write “way better” get crickets. 
    Universal Fantasy is the answer to many of the questions you might have thought were unanswerable or simply up to luck, like… 
    • Will this sell? 
    • Why is that selling? 
    • Why didn’t this sell? 
    • Will readers like what I am writing? 
    • Why do I love the TV shows/books/entertainments I do? 
    • Why did I buy that thing I bought when I didn’t intend to buy it? 
    BE WARNED…once known, Universal Fantasy cannot be undiscovered. Leave this book be if you’re truly satisfied with your current writing life. 
    But if you’re not afraid—if you’re ready to know the secret hidden inside all bestselling stories, open this gift and find out how to use UNIVERSAL FANTASY to write and market books that SELL to ANYONE
