Acerca de esta escucha
My name is Drew Hayes, and for the past six years I've made my living as a writer. In that time, I've published 20 books, written hundreds of thousands of words, and made countless mistakes - most of which I like to think I've learned from.
Underqualified Advice (and Other Amusing Diversions) is my attempt to compile those lessons and share them with others, as well as have some fun along the way. Half of the book is dedicated to detailing specifics about writing, maneuvering the industry, and keeping fiscally afloat in largely unstable waters. The other half, however, is dedicated to pure fun: essays on extremely specific topics, flash fiction, and some bits that not even I know how to classify.
Even if you don't particularly need the advice, we could all use an amusing diversion from time to time.

Historia
Some people are born boring. Some live boring. Some even die boring. Fred managed to do all three, and when he woke up as a vampire, he did so as a boring one. Timid, socially awkward, and plagued by self-esteem issues, Fred has never been the adventurous sort. One fateful night, Fred reconnects with an old friend at his high school reunion. This rekindled relationship sets off a chain of events thrusting him right into the chaos that is the parahuman world.

Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

What happens when the haggling is done and the shops are closed? When the quest has been given, the steeds saddled, and the adventurers are off to their next encounter? They keep the world running, the food cooked, and the horses shoed, yet what adventurer has ever spared a thought or concern for the Non-Player Characters? In the town of Maplebark, four such NPCs settle in for a night of actively ignoring the adventurers drinking in the tavern when things go quickly and fatally awry.

Gifted with meta-human powers, Tori Rivas kept away from the limelight, preferring to work as a thief in the shadows. But when she's captured trying to rob a vault that belongs to a secret guild of villains, she's offered a hard choice: prove she has what it takes to join them or be eliminated. Apprenticed to one of the world's most powerful (and supposedly dead) villains, she is thrust into a strange world where the lines that divide superheroes and criminals are more complex than they seem.

Most people would be overjoyed to win $50,000 and the chance to star in a nation-wide commercial, even if it was just for a fast food joint like Camelot Burger. Then again, Clint Tucker has never been like most people. Ushered to the tropical paradise of Kenowai, he and the other winners undertake an island tradition for the cameras, one meant to free a local imprisoned deity. One with very specific requirements that have yet to be met. One that might just be a bit more authentic than any of them expected.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few.

Now, he distills everything he has learned from the myriad books he has copyedited and overseen into a useful guide not just for writers but for everyone who wants to put their best prose foot forward.

Whether dealing with finding the ideal word, building a sentence, or constructing a paragraph, First You Write a Sentence informs by light example: much richer than a style guide, it can be listened to not only for instruction but for pleasure and delight. And along the way, it shows how good writing can help us notice the world, make ourselves known to others, and live more meaningful lives. It's an elegant gem in praise of the English sentence.

That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Historia
“Long live the King” hailed Entertainment Weekly upon publication of Stephen King’s On Writing. Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a revealing and practical view of the writer’s craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have. King’s advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported, near-fatal accident in 1999—and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery.

The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek. For the last two years, I've interviewed more than 200 world-class performers for my podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview.

Williams pulls back the curtain on an astonishingly profitable industry that has put its stamp on pop culture and yet is little known to those outside its walls.

Three short years ago, when Chris Brogan and Julien Smith wrote their best seller, Trust Agents, being interesting and human on the Web was enough to build a significant audience. But now, everybody has a platform. The problem is that most of them are just making noise. In The Impact Equation, Brogan and Smith show that to make people truly care about what you have to say - you need more than just a good idea, trust among your audience, or a certain number of followers.

Williams pulls back the curtain on an astonishingly profitable industry that has put its stamp on pop culture and yet is little known to those outside its walls.

Historia
Three short years ago, when Chris Brogan and Julien Smith wrote their best seller, Trust Agents, being interesting and human on the Web was enough to build a significant audience. But now, everybody has a platform. The problem is that most of them are just making noise. In The Impact Equation, Brogan and Smith show that to make people truly care about what you have to say - you need more than just a good idea, trust among your audience, or a certain number of followers.

He helps listeners come up with a “Ten Word Description” that will guide them throughout the creative process and then gets into how-tos - how to develop character, story, voice, and more.

Rachel Maddow has beaten the odds in a way that's novel in today's America: She uses her brain. In a world of banal and opinionated soundbites, she regularly crushes Sean Hannity's ratings thanks to her deeply researched reports. And in our highly polarized world, Maddow amiably engages the staunchest conservatives, while never hesitating to expose their light-on-facts defenses.

Most people would be overjoyed to win $50,000 and the chance to star in a nation-wide commercial, even if it was just for a fast food joint like Camelot Burger. Then again, Clint Tucker has never been like most people. Ushered to the tropical paradise of Kenowai, he and the other winners undertake an island tradition for the cameras, one meant to free a local imprisoned deity. One with very specific requirements that have yet to be met. One that might just be a bit more authentic than any of them expected.

Sometimes this led to great discoveries and triumphs, other paths led to Dead Ends, though even in those there was much to be gleaned. For ten years, this tradition occurred, until in the year of 2022, the readers chose a finale. This is their story: a tale of deaths and decisions that spanned a decade.

Being a superhero should be fun. After all, a world of super powers is a world where Amazonian juggernauts made of candy battle guys in spandex that drive talking cars. Irene loves that weirdness, loves the game of fighting, and loves being a four-foot-tall woman who still gets to drop big heavy objects on villains' heads. In 1980, that fun is in danger. A mad scientist who murders people for his research has everyone afraid. Two of the friendliest super-powered rivals around stop playing and go for the kill.

Drew Hayes is Hilarious and Quasi Helpful
Excellent Choice for Kirby to narrate. I have read a number of your posts on your website, but having Kirby read them brought life to each.
Brilliant idea of structuring your witty writing advice/ramblings and funny stories, so to keep your listeners enjoying each one.
I love every Thunder Pear Publishing Memo skit and so very very much want Drew to write the full Thunder Pear Publishing "Lost Christmas Special".

Great Underqualified Advice!
I loved this book! (Psst, and I’m not a writer, either). It was really great to hear the workings behind the creation of books and becoming a full time artist. As well as some kooky anecdotes. Watch out for brain spiders! As a voice actor I’m going to pull many tips from here to hone my own craft. Anyone in the creative field should listen (or read, who does that anyway?) this book!

You Rock Drew!
I enjoyed this book as I've enjoyed every single other books of yours that I've listened to (time constraints and brain squirrels prevent reading with my eyes). The mix of advice to writers and miscellaneous musing hit a good spot in my brain. For those reading this review, if you like Drew's other works and would like to know more about his process and brain spiders start listening as soon as possible. If you don't know who he is, start with "The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, The Vampire Accountant" and then come back. There's a few in the series, I'm sure he would understand if you get distracted and have to listen to all of them before coming back for this gem. it's the same narrator, which is fun. Um. I guess a few descriptors might be appreciated. Quirky, witty dialogue, funny, good pacing. If you're looking deep dark Game of Thrones level of sadistic story plots, Drew is not your guy. BUT if you like bright, witty and SHINY narratives, sign up and check him out!!

I am not a writer, still enjoyed this book!
I got this book because it was up on a 2-for-1 deal and so far I've listened to other Drew Hayes books so I knew the style of snark I was getting in to. At first I wasn't sure about a different narrator, having heard Drew on podcasts, and Kirby does bring a different voice in but after all the Fred series Kirby does have a good voice for Drew's styles.
I love the format of breaking up the advice and the other diversions. If you're not a writer, don't skip all the advice ones. Some of course he's going to get into the weeds, and there's people for that. But also you'll get a conversation on how pro-wrestling set up tropes. The other diversions, well if you're a writer and listening to Drew, I'm pretty sure you know EXACTLY what you're getting into.
I honestly had fun with this one.

Pick up this title
Fun book full of excellent advice for aspiring writers (I don't even fall into this camp, but it was interesting to read about "behind the scenes" stuff authors deal with... plus, there are great productivity tips/suggestions that can help anyone) and funny side stories. I've never read a book like this before, and I'm glad I did.

Very interesting
As always drew gives back in his books. This has a solid amount of writing advice while still being good for information to those of us who are not writers. Thanks Drew

An interesting variety that really works...
Over the last couple years, Drew Hayes has become easily one of my favorite authors. As such, when this audiobook was released I didn't hesitate to scoop it up and can honestly say it did not disappoint. I found this book to be a fascinating blend of genuine advice, entertaining stories and even a bit of insight into the mind and life of the author himself. The advice portion, though directed toward aspiring writers, often felt adaptable to other careers and sometimes even just life in general. I often found myself listening to the advice sections with curiosity as (like Drew points out several times) the general public's perception of authors is heavily influenced by TV/movies and therefore not always accurate. The narrator (who also narrates Drew's Fred series) has an enjoyable voice that fits the tone of this book quite well. Overall I really enjoyed this listen!

Exactly what I wanted
It's as it advertises, an in depth look at the writing industry as seen from the author I trust the most.

Funny and informative
A fun ride that pairs a number of useful tips for would-be writers with fun side trips into some delightful short stories. Based on the tips I am sure it was an ideal mechanism for releasing an accumulation of great work that was too good to let languish and too small to release each on their own. I am quite pleased that Drew found a way to deliver all of these glorious nuggets to his readers.
Kirby's narration was amazing, as always, and proves he is a credit to his craft.
