Scholar Says He’s Found Proof Where Shakespeare Is Buried
“The title page and dedication page have encrypted in them the exact church, the exact part of that church and the exact spot … where Shakespeare is buried.

First, Write A Bestselling, Critically Acclaimed Debut Novel. Then, Figure It All Out Again.
Yaa Gyasi, author of Homegoing, says it’s not easy to recreate the feel of writing her first novel, which she wrote in a dank little apartment in Iowa City. “Every day I would wake up in the dungeon, head to my nook, sit at my desk and feel proud and productive and contented. I’m trying to recapture that feeling.”
Making Dance Look Somewhat Realistic Onscreen
Basically? Hire a good choreographer, or two. “The critic in all of us gets particularly savage when watching a dance film or a musical.
