What function does comedy serve? What do people in power learn by watching tragedies? In this collection of five animations comedienne Josie Long guides us into the fascinating world of Literary Theory. Along the way we’ll discover two very different types of poet (and lover): The Petrarchan and The Libertine, we’re given insight into the complexity behind the term author and learn the difference between a book and the idea of a book.
This collection was created in conjunction with The Open University course A334 English Literature from Shakespeare to Austen -

Do you yearn to make your living from fiction? Do you struggle to finish your manuscript because of block, indecision, or lack of confidence in your story? Have you already published books and just aren’t getting the sales you want?
The truth is, the thing that really makes a difference in book sales is not currently being taught in the fiction author space. And it comes from the story level, not the marketing level.
Real talk: if you don’t get it right at the story level, no amount of awesome marketing is going to make your book a best seller. Hi, I’m Liesel. I have 20 books, 4 genres, the USA today best-seller accolade, and multiple award wins under my belt. So, obviously I’ve been around the block few times.
I have a lot of readers that follow me from genre to genre even though conventional wisdom says that’s rare.
Why?
Because my readers know that I know how to tell a story that’s going to make them feel something.
And if you can master that skill you can write anything you want for the rest of your life and KNOW that it will be well received by readers.
Which means better reviews, more gushing, more mega fans, and best of all, more royalties for you.
Grab your fuzzy slippers and your chocolate of choice. I’m going to teach you how to emotionally engineer your story into the hearts and minds of your readers on purpose.
Let’s go! -

Wish you knew more about the biggest investment you will most likely ever make? Build Your House Yourself University (byhyu) will teach you to save money and make smart decisions about the construction of the place you and your family will call HOME. We will help you understand residential construction— simplify and demystify the design build process. You’ll come away with successful strategies for building your own house, with or without a general contractor.
Become an educated consumer, even if you prefer to buy, rather than build a new house. Complex construction jargon and best practices will be explained in easy to understand terms. It’s not the typical DIY (do it yourself) show. You will learn how to MANAGE the labor, not DO the labor for your new house.
Join me, Michelle Nelson, host and fellow informal residential construction student. I’ll share the research I find on home design and building as I prepare to build my home. Together, our community of future home builders, will learn the tips, tricks and trends of experienced contractors and industry experts.
I’ll interview owner-builders and construction professionals. During our mini lessons, I’ll inform you about framing, flooring, windows, insulation, kitchen cabinets and countertops…almost anything having to do with new construction homes. You’ll hear about energy efficiency and green building too. There will be product reviews in which you will be introduced to cutting edge, as well as, tried and true products and services. And in keeping with the university theme, episodes will end with short, fun quizzes.
If we do our due diligence BEFORE we start construction, we will actually start construction with the most difficult part of the project behind us. Let’s put in the time, effort, preparation and research BEFORE we break ground and building our homes will be much easier and more enjoyable. -
