ALAN MOORE - advice to unpublished authors.

[braigus09]

Him and Neil Gaiman inspire me to write, it's rare to see him giving motivational speeches for the young crowd such as me.

[cesargarzan96]

WHOA!!!!! THIS GUY WAS BORN THE SAME DAY AS ME. AWESOME!!!!

[nautiluskamen]

Ralph Bakshi (legendary animation director) thinks the same: express yourself, draw, animate. Watch on Youtube "Ralph Bakshi: Surviving In Tough Times"

[Ekulssorc1000]

His accent is so fake. Just kidding, this is great.

[lovetownsend]

btw why isnt there a shrine there? we need to worship him

[lovetownsend]

IS HE WEARING A HP LOVECRAFT SHIRT WITH THAT OCTOPUS THING!?

[videoboyo]

all hail to the king of comic writing!!!

[sharpezor]

and what got to number one?

[UnbornChild]

No offense but I wish the sound was a little better, I want to laugh at his jokes too!

[dujava]

@UnbornChild You still have to get through his accent. Alan Moore needs to come with an interpreter because my ignorant American ears struggle to receive his wisdom.

[UnbornChild]

@dujava I'm American too but it's not so much the accent, I always understand him. It just sounds really distant and fuzzy. The crowd laughter sounds clearer

[ApiarySociety]

Alan Moore is the only Old God of Comics that still has it, in my opinion. He is the Master.

[TheMoonShades2009]

A biography of the Stig, haha!

[xtctounge]

thanks for posting this. very inspirational for me here in the states. love that man

[thepetsaver]

he's such a talented guy, he's inspired me to continue work on my projects

[piratejenny66]

beautiful. What a wonderful chap. THANK YOU for posting... truly inspiring...

[ZachClooney]

Does Kall Kwik really publish books? 2:55  Has any one here done this?

[ZachClooney]

Thank you to 'scattah' for uploading this Alan Moore talk. It is always inspiring to listen to him.

[blahnupunk1]

Amazon.com publishes anyone and I believe its free.  Just send them an e-file and they'll sell it as either paper or electronic media. I'm sure that J.K. Rowling would be just as rich (if not more) if she'd done it that way.

[kikomiko1]

@blahnupunk1 Yes, but how do you get recognized amid the sea of crap that is their ebookstore? You need some way to garner publicity.

[jesustonight]

cool britian did he say

are they a publisher?

[Cthulhuized]

woow nice cthulhu tee shirt! *_*

[andraaaaa]

digging the shirt haha

[Xaffax]

"Most publishers don't want to take a chance on publishing fiction when they can publish an autobiography of The Stig." Brilliant! rolf!

[BelatedCommiseration]

Very sound and advice and inspiring too....the only trouble is how are you going to know if your an Alan Moore or a Dan Brown? I daresay Dan Brown thinks he is a good author...wouldn;t it be terrible to heed an Alan Moore and end up a Dan Brown? With all his millions, women and cars...the horror the horror...ahem...actually I dfon;t think Dan Brown is that bad but I would rather be on Moore, or Neil Gaimans or Clive Barkers wave length...or maybe try and find a real wavelength of my own!

[msa1985]

what did he say was the name of the company to go to for self publishing?

[TheKlink]

Were I a writer, I'd write the story on a blog and take one of those internet marketting courses to make money off of the ads and that.

[kabutops11]

Anyone know the name of the company he named for self publishing? please send it as a private message

[blahnupunk1]

@kabutops11 Amazon.com will publish your book free.  Plus it's Amazon.com, where better to be?

[indarkness11]

in 4 minutes he gives better free advice than any Writing course or "How to write" book. Alan is a true creative inspiration.

[MrBoJangles]

@indarkness11 very true

[Turtithebest]

0 dislikes. Good.

[peckenhamm123]

I choose to believe that Alan Moore randomly walks into bookstores and starts giving inspirational speeches about being a writer to anyone that will listen.

[AdamskiLawlerski]

what got to number 1 did he say? :L

[scattah]

@AdamskiLawlerski - The Spice Girls

[oconstanti]

Wow, where did u meet him?

Intriguing man.

He's still based in Northampton right?

Thanks for this btw,

[scattah]

@oconstanti I met him at St James library in Northampton at a talk he was doing to protest against the proposed closure of this library and others like it

[scattah]

@oconstanti and yes he still lives in Northampton in a council house

[scattah]

@OscarBaldwin haha ok, I see, although an animation using some of Alan Moores wealth of wisdom would be pretty cool I think

[scattah]

@OscarBaldwin cool, would like to see this, post it as a video response to this video :)

[Rufio7]

Cheers for these, Alan Moore, what a guy.

[Speedygi81]

Alan Moore is so sensible
