Did Terry Prachett also help write Good Omens?
Terry Pratchett
In 2014, a six-part adaption of "Good Omens" aired on BBC Radio 4, and featured cameos by both Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
Alternate history
Terry Pratchett's works include several references to alternate histories of Discworld. "Men At Arms" observes that in millions of universes, Edward d'Eath became an obsessive recluse rather than the instigator of the plot that he is in the novel. In "Jingo", Vimes accidentally picks up a pocket organizer that should have gone down another leg of the Trousers of Time, and so can hear the organizer reporting on the deaths that would have occurred had his decision gone otherwise. Indeed, Discworld contains an equivalent of the Time Patrol in its History Monks. "Night Watch" revolves around a repair of history after a time traveller's murder of an important figure in Vimes's past. "Thief of Time" presents them functioning as a full-scale Time Patrol, ensuring that history occurs at all.

In addition, the author studied the literature and film archives of World War II and the post-war trials. Littell worked on this novel for about five years. This book is his first novel written in French and his second novel after the science fiction themed "Bad Voltage" in 1989.
Terry Pratchett
Between 1997 and 2015, ten Discworld Diaries were published as collaborations with Briggs or the Discword Emporium. Pratchett and Tina Hannan collaborated on "Nanny Ogg's Cookbook" (1999). The design of this cookbook, illustrated by Paul Kidby, was based on the traditional "Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management", but with humorous recipes. Pratchett and Bernard Pearson collaborated on "The Discworld Almanak", for the Year of the Prawn, with illustration by Paul Kidby, Pearson and Sheila Watkins.
Josie Lawrence
In December 2014, Lawrence played the role of Agnes Nutter in an adaptation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's book "Good Omens" for BBC Radio 4.
Terry Pratchett
Pratchett's first two adult novels, "The Dark Side of the Sun" (1976) and "Strata" (1981), were both science-fiction, the latter taking place partly on a disc-shaped world. Subsequent to these, Pratchett mostly concentrated on his "Discworld" series and novels for children, with two exceptions: "Good Omens" (1990), a collaboration with Neil Gaiman (which was nominated for both Locus and World Fantasy Awards in 1991), a humorous story about the Apocalypse set on Earth, and "Nation" (2008), a book for young adults.

Cohen, Abe Fortas, David Riesman, and Joseph Rauh. (The brief bio for Alger Hiss in the back of the book mentions his AAA work, State Department, United Nations, and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; avoids any mention of the Hiss-Chambers Case; and ends by mentioning that he lectures.She also wrote the libretto for an opera by David Diamond, "The Noblest Game", completed in 1975.
The Help (film)
In December 2009, Variety reported that Chris Columbus, Michael Barnathan, and Mark Radcliffe would produce a film adaptation of The Help, under their production company 1492 Pictures. Brunson Green of Harbinger Productions also co-produced. The film was written and directed by Stockett's childhood friend, Tate Taylor, who optioned film rights to the book before its publication. DreamWorks acquired the film rights to the novel in March 2010. Reliance Entertainment and Participant Media co-produced the film.
Terry Pratchett
A BBC docudrama based on Pratchett's life. "Terry Pratchett: Back In Black" was broadcast in February 2017 and starred Paul Kaye as Pratchett. Neil Gaiman was involved with the project which used Pratchett's own words to create a "surreal", "witty" and "in character" documentary touching on some "important topics". Terry's long term assistant Rob Wilkins stated that Terry was working on this documentary before he died, and according to the BBC, finishing it would "show the author was still having the last laugh".
Good Omens
In the Czech version of the book, the names of Agnes, Anathema, the Satanist nuns, Pepper and some minor characters were translated too. The book contains many extra footnotes as an explanation to some of the phrases that were translated more literally than usual and to add new jokes (for example the part where Anathema meets Adam and tells him she is an occultist, noting: "You were thinking 'Nothin' wrong with my eyes, they don't need examining,' weren't you?" was accompanied by a footnote: "To those who understood what was the point, congratulations. For those whom it took as long as it took me: The Dictionary's definition: Oculist - rather an old-fashioned word for an ophthalmologist.")."668—The Neighbour of the Beast" was slated as the title for a sequel to "Good Omens", but after Neil Gaiman moved to the United States, Terry Pratchett expressed doubt that a sequel would be written. Gaiman later affirmed this in one of his essays, titled "Terry Pratchett: An Appreciation". In 2017, Gaiman revealed as part of the filming to the TV series based on the book that he and Pratchett had already started plotting for the sequel, including that "[t]here would have been a lot of angels in the sequel", one of which was Gabriel, who was only mentioned in the novel.

Literature of New England
Derek Walcott, a playwright and poet who won the 1992 Nobel Prize for Literature, taught poetry at Boston University. Pulitzer Prize winner Cormac McCarthy, whose novel "No Country for Old Men" was made into the Academy Award for Best Picture winning film in 2007, was born in Providence, although he moved to Tennessee when he was a boy. New York Times Bestselling author Dennis Lehane, another native of the Boston area, who was born in Dorchester, wrote the novels that were adapted into the films "Mystic River", "Gone Baby Gone" and "Shutter Island".
Good News Week
Good News Week was an Australian satirical panel game show hosted by Paul McDermott that aired from 19 April 1996 to 27 May 2000, and 11 February 2008 to 28 April 2012. The show's initial run aired on ABC until being bought by Network Ten in 1999. The show was revived for its second run when the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike caused many of Network Ten's imported US programmes to cease production.
Jerome Charyn
The ten books were translated into seven languages and remained in print for three decades. In 1991, Charyn co-produced and co-wrote a TV pilot starring Ron Silver as The Good Policemen. More recently, in April, 2012, Otto Penzler, founder of Mysterious Press, reissued the entire series as eBooks, co-published by Open Road Media. The October, 2012, publication of "Under the Eye of God", the first new Sidel thriller in a decade, rebooted the series ahead of a planned adult animated TV drama, to be titled "Hard Apple".
Davitt Sigerson
He also wrote songs for or with various artists including Philip Bailey, Prism, John Entwistle of the Who, and Gene Simmons of Kiss, with whom he wrote the song "Good Girl Gone Bad" on the 1987 album "Crazy Nights". In addition, he worked as a record producer, producing Olivia Newton-John, the Bangles, Tori Amos, and David & David among others.
Cary Burkett
Cary Burkett attended the University of Texas at Austin and earned a BFA degree in theater. He moved to New York City and performed in Off-Broadway productions and wrote comic books for DC Comics. His first credits for DC were writing text articles and responses to readers' letters in the letter columns of various titles. Burkett's first published comic book story was titled "When You Wish Upon A Star" and appeared in "House of Mystery" #255 (November–December 1977). His best known comics work is the character Nemesis. The character's civilian secret identity of Thomas Tresser was created by Burkett in 1979 and named for an actor with whom he was rooming with in New Hampshire. The character debuted in an eight-page backup story in "The Brave and the Bold" #166 (September 1980) written by Burkett and drawn by Dan Spiegle. The "Nemesis" feature ran in issues #166 through 192, and the character teamed-up with the Batman in #170 and #193. Another Burkett-created character, the Swashbuckler, debuted in "Detective Comics" #493 (Aug. 1980) but never appeared again.
Terry Pratchett
Pratchett had his writing breakthrough in 1968 when he interviewed Peter Bander van Duren, co-director of a small publishing company, Colin Smythe Ltd. During the meeting, Pratchett mentioned he had written a manuscript, "The Carpet People". Colin Smythe Ltd published the book in 1971, with illustrations by the author. The book received strong, if few, reviews and was followed by the science fiction novels "The Dark Side of the Sun" (10 May 1976) and "Strata" (15 June 1981).
Goodman Ace
By this time, however, Ace began writing for other performers; Milton Berle, Perry Como, Danny Kaye, Robert Q. Lewis, and Bob Newhart were some who engaged this witty man with a winking inability to take himself too seriously. (He would be nominated for Emmy Awards twice during his term as Como's head writer, in 1956 and 1959.) Ace rationalized his work by saying, "I'm not in television. I'm with Perry Como." Perhaps his best turn of writing in these years, however, was his collaboration with Frank Wilson on "The Big Show", considered NBC's last-gasp attempt to keep classic radio alive. This 90-minute variety program was hosted by Tallulah Bankhead and featured a rotating cast that included some of America's and the world's greatest entertainers, including Fred Allen, Groucho Marx, Jimmy Durante, Joan Davis, Bob Hope, Louis Armstrong, George Jessel, Ethel Merman, José Ferrer, Ed Wynn, Lauritz Melchior, Ezio Pinza, Édith Piaf, Ginger Rogers, Ethel Barrymore, Phil Silvers, Benny Goodman, and Danny Thomas. The show was ripened by Ace's wry style, adapted to Bankhead's diva-blunt style and the differing ways of the various guests who joined in the show. (Ace said years later that one of his secrets was isolating particular interests of the guests-for example, Ginger Rogers' passion for playing golf-and write comic routines around those interests.)
Christopher Goodman
Both he and Knox wrote some acrimonious tracts. The most famous by Goodman was entitled "How superior Powers ought to be obeyed of their subjects, and wherein they may lawfully be by God's word disobeyed and resisted . . ." Geneva, 1558. The book, in favor of Wyatt's rebellion, bitterly attacked Mary I of England and the government of women in general, which afterwards drew down Elizabeth's displeasure upon the author. Knox's "First Blast of the Trumpet" was published in the same year, and the tracts were secretly circulated in England. Their violence was generally disapproved, even by their own party. Goodman also published while abroad a "Commentary upon Amos", in which he likens Mary to Proserpine, queen of Hades. On Elizabeth's accession, he returned briefly and somewhat furtively to London.
Humorist
Terry Pratchett (1948–2015) was an author known for comic fantasy novels, most notably the "Discworld" series of 41 novels. He was strongly influenced by Wodehouse, Sharpe, Jerome, Coren, and Twain.
Good Things Happening
Side One
No Good Deed (Parenthood)
"No Good Deed" was written by Tyler Bensinger and directed by Lawrence Trilling. It marked the second in a string of appearances by William Baldwin in his recurring role as Gordon Flint, and set the foundation for what would later grow into a romantic subplot between the Gordon and Sarah characters. The episode also included guest appearances by Amanda Foreman, Phil Abrams and Nicholas Lobue as the Lessing family, all of whom had appeared in the first season as a family acquainted with Adam and Kristina based on their similar experiences raising a child with Asperger syndrome. Tina Lifford, who guest stars in "No Good Deed" as Jasmine's mother Renee, also made previous appearances in the first season.
Good Omens
Gaiman confirmed in a podcast interview with Empire in 2013 that the majority of the funding for the film was in place in 2002, but the project couldn't attract the initial funding to begin production.

Colin Smythe
Smythe is arguably best known for publishing the first five Terry Pratchett novels and later acting as Pratchett's agent. In 1971, Smythe published Konstantin Raudive's "Breakthrough", the first book in the English language on the Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) and the inspiration for the film White Noise. Other authors published include George Moore, Lady Gregory, "A.E." (George William Russell) and Oliver St John Gogarty.
Louis Tillett
In June 1993 Tillett (on piano, Hammond organ, vocals and percussion) and Owen (on guitar and percussion) recorded an album, "The Ugly Truth", with Owen producing. It was released in 1994 on Return to Sender/Normal Records. The pair released a second album together, "Midnight Rain", in October 1995, which was produced by Tony Cohen. For that album Tillett provided lead vocals, piano, Hammond organ, Roland synthesiser and soprano saxophone. The pair toured in support of the album. "Midnight Rain" won the "Rolling Stone" Critics Award for Best Album of 1996. Later that year Tillett and Owen joined Tex Perkins' backing band on a promotional tour for the latter's debut solo album, "Far Be It from Me" (August 1996).
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab
Black Phoenix also released a collection of perfumes based on "Good Omens" (co-authored by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett) and sales went to benefit the CBLDF and the Orangutan Foundation UK.

The Impossible Planet
Writer Matt Jones also wrote, as Matthew Jones, the Virgin New Adventures novel "Bad Therapy", featuring the Seventh Doctor and Chris Cwej. He was script editor on Russell T Davies' Channel 4 series "Queer as Folk".
Executive producer and chief writer Russell T Davies said that an early draft of the script called for the role of the Ood to be filled by Raxacoricofallapatorians, the same species as the Slitheen. Their race would have been enslaved and they wished to awaken the Beast, whom they believed to be a god that could free them. Davies chose the name of the Ood rather than Jones; he intended it to be a play on the word "odd". In the accompanying "Doctor Who Confidential" episode, Davies said that he likes to think that the Ood come from a planet near to that of the Sensorites from the First Doctor serial "The Sensorites" (1964), as he suggests the races are similar in some respects. In "Planet of the Ood", this is confirmed. During an interview with the production crew, it was noted that the sanctuary base was based on the spaceship "Nostromo" from the movie "Alien".
Terry Pratchett
Pratchett's earliest inspirations were "The Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame, and the works of Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke. His literary influences were P.G. Wodehouse, Tom Sharpe, Jerome K. Jerome, Roy Lewis, Alan Coren, G. K. Chesterton, and Mark Twain.

Terry Sullivan
Aaron Sorkin
Sorkin wrote several drafts of the script for "A Few Good Men" in his Manhattan apartment, learning the craft from a book about screenplay format. He then spent several months at the Los Angeles offices of Castle Rock, working on the script with director Rob Reiner. William Goldman (who regularly worked under contract at Castle Rock) became his mentor and helped him to adapt his stageplay into a screenplay. The movie was directed by Reiner, starred Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore and Kevin Bacon, and was produced by Brown. "A Few Good Men" was released in 1992 and was a box office success.
Good Deeds

He has projects worldwide, including Max Brenner, Qi Restaurant, Coppélia and Switch. He sits on the board of Almond California, the Tenement Museum, the French Culinary Institute, and Institute of Culinary Education.
Good Omens
The history of this project and similar experiences with Gaiman's various other works (including "The Sandman" series) have led to his cynical view of the Hollywood process, a view which occasionally surfaces in his weblog and in some of his short fiction. Pratchett shared a similar opinion, and was quoted as saying, "The difference between me and Neil in our attitude to movie projects is that he doesn't believe they're going to happen until he's sitting in his seat eating popcorn, and I don't believe they're going to happen."

Agnes Nutter became Agnès Barge (barge is French for nutter), Anathema Device became Anathème Bidule (Bidule being French for Device). Crowley became Rampa (as 'Crawly' became 'Crowley', 'Rampant' became 'Rampa'), after the infamous author of "The Third Eye", T. L. Rampa. The French publisher of "Good Omens" (J'ai Lu) was also the French publisher of the T. L. Rampa books.
Christopher Abbott
After moving to New York, Abbott began going to big open calls for plays while in school. This is how Abbott got his two first acting jobs, Off-Broadway. The first play, "Good Boys and True", opened in the Spring of 2008 and was written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and directed by Scott Ellis. It followed a scandal at a prep school. Abbott played the lead character's (Brian J. Smith) gay best friend, Justin. The second play, "Mouth to Mouth", opened in the Fall of 2008. The mordant and mournful play about the limits of friendship and family was written by Kevin Elyot and directed by Mark Brokaw. Abbott played the sympathetic 15-year-old son of Laura (Lisa Emery). Abbott received positive reviews for both productions. Abbott followed this with guest-starring roles in the comedy series "Nurse Jackie" and the police procedural series "" . In 2010, Abbott co-starred opposite Cristin Milioti and Laila Robins in the play "That Face" at the Manhattan Theatre Club.

Developers of Dota 2, Valve Corporation, added an item to their game called "Octarine Core", in reference to Pratchett's novel "The Colour of Magic". Users of the social news site Reddit organised a tribute by which an HTTP header, "codice_1", is added to a site's responses, a reference to the Discworld novel "Going Postal". In their June 2015 Web Server survey, Netcraft reported that approximately 84,000 websites had been configured with the header. This included the Guardian newspaper website, which, using their estimated page views, Netcraft estimated that the addition would cause terabytes of additional bandwidth per day.

Ben Warheit
Ben Warheit is an American actor, comedian, and writer from Wilmington, Delaware. He has been a writer for "Late Night with Seth Meyers" since 2014. He was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series in 2017 and 2018 for writing on "Late Night".
Warheit attended the University of Delaware where he majored in neuroscience and minored in music. After graduating in 2009, he moved to New York and began working as a research associate in the Heroin & Opiates Addiction lab of Columbia University's Department of Psychiatry. At the same time he began writing and performing in videos and stage productions around New York City, and wrote and performed in several shows at UCB Theatre. In 2012, Warheit was drawing cartoons on post-it notes in his lab office, and posting them daily to his blog, which led to Above Average Productions ordering an animated web series based on his post-it drawings. The resulting series, "Waco Valley", ran 6 episodes online before Comedy Central ordered a half-hour TV pilot of the series. The pilot script that Warheit wrote ended up in the hands of Seth Meyers who was looking for writers for his Hulu series, The Awesomes, and hired Warheit to write and direct for the show. A month later, Meyers was named the new host of "Late Night", and brought on Warheit as a staff writer.
Good Omens (TV series)
Principal photography on the series began in September 2017, with Gaiman tweeting a picture of Tennant and Sheen in costume on set. In October 2017, the production was spotted filming in Surrey.
Good Omens
A film, directed by Terry Gilliam, was planned. As of 2002 Gilliam still hoped to make the film with its already completed script, but by 2006 it seemed to have come to nothing. Funding was slow to appear and Gilliam moved on to other projects. There was a rumour that Johnny Depp was originally cast as Crowley and Robin Williams as Aziraphale. However Gaiman has said on his website, "Well, Robin's worked with Terry Gilliam before as well, of course, most famously in "The Fisher King". But I have no idea about "Good Omens" casting (except for Shadwell. Terry told me who he wanted to play Shadwell. I immediately forgot the man's name, although I can assure you that it wasn't Robin Williams)." According to an interview in May 2006 at "The Guardian" Hay Festival, Gilliam was still hoping to go ahead with the film.
All Good Things (film)
Years later, the case is re-opened by the current District Attorney of New York after reading an unpublished novel written by David's best friend Deborah Lehrman (Lily Rabe), which contains a murder almost identical to the Marks case. Soon after this is announced, Lehrman is shot in her home, and David is under suspicion again while standing trial for the murder of his neighbour in Galveston, Texas. David is acquitted of the murder of his neighbour; the film states that nobody has ever been tried for Deborah Lehrman's murder and that Katie Marks remains a missing person to this day. The film ends with David visiting his dying father and whispering to him that he misses Katie every single day.The screenplay for "All Good Things" was written by Marcus Hinchey and Marc Smerling as a narrative loosely based on the events in the life of Robert Durst, a New York City real estate heir whose first wife, Kathleen McCormack, disappeared in 1982. The film's title refers to a health food store of the same name which Durst and McCormack had established in the 1970s.
Discworld gods
Grimoires called "Paginarum Fulvarum" (Yellow Pages) also appear in "Good Omens" (co-written by Pratchett and Neil Gaiman) and Gaiman's "Sandman" comic book. Pratchett calls it a "shared joke", and in the dedication to "Equal Rites" thanks Gaiman for lending him the last surviving copy of the book.
The Omen
The novel "Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett satirizes the apocalypse and several events of the film, including the baby swap.
Studs Terkel
Louis "Studs" Terkel (May 16, 1912 – October 31, 2008) was an American author, historian, actor, and broadcaster. He received the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 1985 for "The Good War", and is best remembered for his oral histories of common Americans, and for hosting a long-running radio show in Chicago.
Terry Pratchett
His early interests included astronomy. He collected Brooke Bond tea cards about space, owned a telescope and wanted to be an astronomer but lacked the necessary mathematical skills. He developed an interest in reading science fiction and began attending science fiction conventions from about 1963–1964, but stopped when he got his first job a few years later. His early reading included the works of H. G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, and "every book you really ought to read", which he later regarded as "getting an education".
Four Yorkshiremen sketch
The sketch was revived for the 2001 Amnesty show "", performed by Harry Enfield, Alan Rickman, Eddie Izzard and Vic Reeves. In 1989 the script was published in the charity fundraiser "The Utterly, Utterly Amusing and Pretty Damn Definitive Comic Relief Revue Book" under the title "The Good Old Days", with the characters named as Joshua, Obadiah, Josiah and Ezekiel. This book was launched on an edition of the primetime chat show "Wogan" where the sketch was performed by Terry Wogan, Stephen Fry, Gareth Hale and Norman Pace.
The Twilights
Terry Britten became a freelance songwriter and producer, working for Australian acts including Zoot, The Avengers and Ronnie Burns. He released a solo single, "2,000 Weeks", before returning to England to develop a new 4-piece band with fellow Australians Kevin Peek, Alan Tarney and Trevor Spencer (ex- James Taylor Move). This band, Quartet, released a single, "Now" on Decca before disbanding in late 1969 and recorded an album, "Joseph" which was never released. Britten then partnered with Brian Peacock (ex-Procession) in the group Homer, before concentrating on songwriting, sometimes in collaboration Tarney, Spencer and B. A. Robertson. He wrote several major hits for Cliff Richard, Tina Turner and Australian singer Christie Allen, as well as co-writing "Just Good Friends" with Graham Lyle of (Gallagher & Lyle) for Michael Jackson's "Bad" album. He went on to win a Grammy Award for Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Another Hero", the theme to the movie "". Britten continues to compose from his base in England but has returned to Australia on occasion for the various Twilights reunions.
Mac Wellman

Tom Lovatt-Williams
His best-known poem, "Oxford", was broadcast several times on the BBC programme "Poetry Please", and is included in the published anthology of favourite poems from that programme. His novel "The Gentle Years" was read on the BBC's Book at Bedtime by Richard Harris. What was not publicised at the time was that it was based on his childhood experiences at Ellesmere, near Oswestry, where he was born. He was a regular contributor of nature notes and poetry to many magazines including "The Lady", "The AutoCar", and "The Countryman".
River Uck
In the Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman novel Good Omens the River Uck plays a small, but important scene in the narrative.
Oliver Elmes
Oliver Elmes was a British graphic designer. He designed a number of logos for the BBC, including "Elizabeth R", "The Goodies", but is best known for his title designs for "The Good Life" and the final three years of the original run of "Doctor Who", from 1987-89.
Lyn Nofziger
Nofziger's political memoir, titled "Nofziger", was published in October 1992 by Regnery Publishing. He wrote four Western novels with a hero named Tackett, a drifter who falls into situations that compel him to rescue women in distress. The Tackett series was an homage to Nofziger's friend, Louis L'Amour, author of "The Sacketts" and scores of other Westerns.
Discworld characters
Mr Pin and Mr Tulip are very similar in many respects to Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar, a violent duo in "Neverwhere", written by Neil Gaiman. The two authors have collaborated before in "Good Omens", and sometimes make reference to each other's works. However, Pratchett has denied any conscious reference in this case.
Scared of Beautiful
"Scared of Beautiful" was written by Odd Future collective member Frank Ocean along with producer Warryn Campbell, and Chameleon Records head Breyon Prescott. Jaycen Joshua mixed the track, while Trehy Harris assisted in the audio engineering of it; both tasks were executed at the Larrabee Sound Studios, in North Hollywood, California. In early March 2012, Norwood made known that Ocean would contribute to her then upcoming sixth studio album, "Two Eleven". He previously wrote the songs "1st & Love" and "Locket (Locked in Love)" for her 2008 album "Human", a process which resulted in a close friendship between the singers. Though Ocean didn’t write "Scared of Beautiful" specifically for her, Norwood stated that she was owning it now: “It’s on my album, I got a claim... ’Frank Ocean, you wrote that song for me, you just didn’t know it’,” she joked. Ocean's demo of the track was leaked in late 2011. Crafted by Midi Mafia members Waynne Nugent and Kevin Risto along with songwriters Tim Stewart and Lamont Neuble, it features a significantly different, guitar-driven instrumentalization. Campbell, unaware of Ocean's version, produced his own variation of "Scared of Beautiful" with help from Prescott along Norwood's pre-recorded vocals only.
Booth Tarkington
While Tarkington never earned a college degree, he was accorded many awards recognizing and honoring his skills and accomplishments as an author. He won the Pulitzer Prize in fiction twice, in 1919 and 1922, for his novels "The Magnificent Ambersons" and "Alice Adams". In 1921 booksellers rated him "the most significant contemporary American author" in a poll conducted by "Publishers' Weekly". He won the O. Henry Memorial Award in 1931 for his short story "Cider of Normandy". His works appeared frequently on best sellers lists throughout his life. In addition to his honorary doctorate from Purdue, and his honorary masters and doctorate from Princeton, Tarkington was awarded an honorary doctorate from Columbia University, the administrator of the Pulitzer Prize, and several other universities.
Good Words
Good Words was a 19th-century monthly periodical in the United Kingdom. It was established in 1860 by Scottish publisher Alexander Strahan. Its first editor was Norman Macleod. After his death in 1872, it was edited by his brother, Donald Macleod, though there is some evidence that at this time the publishing was taken over by W. Isbister & Co.
Tony DiPreta
After seeing the portfolio samples that DiPreta brought to him during a lunch hour in 1940, Quality publisher Everett M. "Busy" Arnold hired DiPreta as a staff letterer for $25 per week, a wage equal to that of his now-working father's well-paying job as a defense industry worker. Under editor Ed Cronin and Cronin's assistant Gill Fox, DiPreta was sent to Quality artist Lou Fine's Tudor City studio in Manhattan to observe and learn from Fine's highly regarded draftsmanship. Shortly afterward, Arnold was concerned over what he saw as Fine's undynamic storytelling, and had Fujitani and DiPreta do pencil-breakdowns for a story each that Fine would finish penciling and inking; DiPreta's starred the character Uncle Sam. At some point, he studied at Columbia University and the University of Connecticut.
Collaborative fiction
The methods used by commercial collaborative writers vary tremendously. When beginning writing the short story 'the toy mill' Karl Schroeder and David Nickle began by writing alternating sentences, whereas when English authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman wrote "Good Omens" they largely wrote separate plotlines and then collaborated much more heavily when revising the manuscript.
Good Omens
In March 2013, Cult Classic Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland, performed Amy Hoff's adaptation of "Good Omens" with the permission of Pratchett and Gaiman.
Christopher Abbott
In 2016, Abbott co-starred in the comedy war film "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot", opposite Tina Fey and Martin Freeman, released on March 4, 2016. Abbott also returned for an episode of "Girls", in the series' fifth season. The episode was critically acclaimed and lauded as one of the series' best episodes ever. In the summer of 2016, Abbott co-starred opposite Marisa Tomei in the Trip-Cullman production of Tennessee Williams' play "The Rose Tattoo" at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, for which Abbott received positive reviews. Abbott co-starred opposite Olivia Cooke in the American independent drama film "Katie Says Goodbye" (2016), which premiered at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival.
David Yates
Yates returned to television in 2000 to direct the episodes of "Greed", "Envy" and "Lust" for the BBC miniseries "The Sins", starring Pete Postlethwaite, as well as "The Way We Live Now", the acclaimed four-part television adaptation of the novel of the same name by Anthony Trollope. Among the actors he directed were David Suchet, Cillian Murphy and Miranda Otto in their roles as Augustus Melmotte, Paul Montague and Mrs. Hurtle respectively. Yates shared the British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Serial with screenwriter Andrew Davies and producer Nigel Stafford-Clark at the 2002 BAFTA Awards.
The Good Thief (novel)
The Good Thief, by Hannah Tinti, is a debut novel published in 2008 by Dial Press. It is the story of Ren, an orphan adopted by a pair of gentleman rogues in early American New England and led willingly into a life of crime. Ren, who is missing his left hand, is taught to lie, steal and run confidence games by his new mentor, Benjamin Nab, and they travel to the city of North Umbridge, where a mousetrap factory owner reigns supreme using his army of hired thugs ("hat boys") and the unmarried, dowdy girls who work in the factory ("mousetrap girls").
Clarence Dobell
As a student at the Academy schools, Clarence Dobell introduced his future brother-in-law Briton Riviere to pre-Raphaelite painters. He was a contributor to "Good Words" from its inception in 1860, and an occasional contributor to "Once A Week". He had a studio in Grafton Street, London, and was a friend of John Pettie, whose studio was nearby. He, his brother Sydney and Dinah Craik were close friends of W. J. Linton and his wife Eliza Lynn Linton.
Good Omens
Agnes Nutter was a witch in the 17th century and the only truly accurate prophet to have ever lived. She wrote a book called "The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch", a collection of prophecies that did not sell very well because they were unspectacular, cryptic and all true. She, in fact, decided to publish it only so she could receive a free author's copy. This copy is passed down to her descendants, and is currently owned by her multi-great granddaughter Anathema Device. Agnes was burned at the stake by a mob; however, because she had foreseen her fiery end and had packed 80 pounds of gunpowder and 40 pounds of roofing nails into her petticoats, everyone who participated in the burning was killed instantly.
The Goodies
Tim Brooke-Taylor was a writer/performer on the television comedy series "At Last the 1948 Show" (which also included John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman in the cast), in which Eric Idle and Bill Oddie guest starred in some of the episodes. The famous "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch was co-written by the four writers/performers of the series – Tim Brooke-Taylor, John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman.
Bad Omens
The idea to form Bad Omens came in 2013 when Noah Sebastian began secretly making lyrics while also performing guitar duties for a DC-based act named Immortalize. In 2014, Noah Sebastion departed from his former band, with Bad Omens in sight. The following year in 2015, he contacted an old friend, Nicholas Ruffilo, to start the band. He then added another mate, Vincent Riquier, who introduced him to a friend from Sweden, Jolly Karlsson. Karlsson had known Riquier through being touring mates from an old project from Riquier. With those four members, the group moved out of their homes in Sweden and Richmond. Karlsson had the idea to make the move when a friend of his began a small record label that was initially producing the band's songs. Nick Folio joined after submitting an online cover of a demo the band put out while seeking a drummer. Thus became Bad Omens. The band put out an untitled demo EP containing rough versions of their debut album tracks, which caught the eye of Sumerian Records. The EP was good enough for Sumerian to recommend taking most of the tracks and putting them on a full-length. After months of rehearsal in Folio's basement, the band set off to Belleville, New Jersey, to record with their debut album with producer Will Putney (Upon a Burning Body, The Amity Affliction, Body Count) at Graphic Nature Audio. That very same year in December, the band landed a recorded deal and released a single and complementary music video for "Glass Houses" through the Sumerian YouTube channel. The single received some attention. A month later, the band released "Exit Wounds". In April 2016, "The Worst in Me" was released, which absolutely blew up, throwing Bad Omens into the limelight with almost one-million streams in a month. This garnered Bad Omens an opening spot on the Ten Years in the Black Tour, a tenth-anniversary Sumerian Records tour headlined by Asking Alexandria, with supporting acts such as Veil of Maya (in certain shows), After the Burial, Upon a Burning Body, I See Stars and Born of Osiris. This tour not only boosted their morale as a band, but also shed light on their debut album that had just been released on August 19, 2016. The album was received well and Metalinjection.net rated it an 8.5 out of 10. Many critics compared it to Bring Me the Horizon's "Sempiternal" release in 2013, which has been arguably one of the best metal releases in the 21st century. Bad Omens' rising fame got them a spot on Warped Tour in 2017, which gave them notice from pop punk fans and metal fans alike. The same year, Noah Sebastian worked with American deathcore act, Winds Of Plague on their fifth studio album Blood of My Enemy. The band embarked on what is seemingly their largest tour yet, supporting Parkway Drive on their "Reverence" tour along with Stick to Your Guns in the spring of 2018. As of that tour, the band has since finished writing their sophomore effort, but have not released other information besides that.
Terry Pratchett
Pratchett's first children's novel was also his first published novel: "The Carpet People" in 1971, which Pratchett substantially rewrote and re-released in 1992. The next, "Truckers" (1988), was the first in "The Nome Trilogy" of novels for young readers, about small gnome-like creatures called "Nomes", and the trilogy continued in "Diggers" (1990) and "Wings" (1990). Subsequently, Pratchett wrote the "Johnny Maxwell" trilogy, about the adventures of a boy called Johnny Maxwell and his friends, comprising "Only You Can Save Mankind" (1992), "Johnny and the Dead" (1993) and "Johnny and the Bomb" (1996).
"Nation" (2008) marked his return to the non-Discworld children's novel, and this was followed in 2012 by "Dodger", a children's novel set in Victorian London. On 21 November 2013 Doubleday Children's released Pratchett's "Jack Dodger's Guide to London".
Rhianna Pratchett
She is co-director of Narrativia Limited. In 2012 and 2013 Narrativia announced that it would be working on three television projects based on Pratchett's father's works: "The Watch", "Good Omens", and "Wee Free Men", as well as several other projects. She has also spoken on BBC Radio 1, Radio 4, 5Live and multiple conferences around the world, including Develop, Animex, GDC and TEDx Transmedia.
Terry Pratchett
In September 2014 an anthology of children's stories, "Dragons at Crumbling Castle", written by Pratchett, and illustrated by "Mark Beech", was published. This was followed by another collection, "The Witch's Vacuum Cleaner", also illustrated by Mark Beech, in 2016. A third volume, "Father Christmas's Fake Beard", was released in 2017.According to Pratchett's assistant Rob Wilkins, Pratchett left "an awful lot" of unfinished writing, "10 titles I know of and fragments from many other bits and pieces." In the past, Pratchett himself mentioned at least two texts, "Scouting for Trolls", and a "Discworld" novel centering on a new character. The notes left behind outline ideas about "how the old folk of the Twilight Canyons solve the mystery of a missing treasure and defeat the rise of a Dark Lord despite their failing memories", "the secret of the crystal cave and the carnivorous plants in the Dark Incontinent", about Constable Feeney of the Watch, first introduced in "Snuff", involving how he "solves a whodunnit among the congenitally decent and honest goblins", and on a second book about Amazing Maurice from "The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents".
