J Daniel Sawyer is a gifted writer, podcaster and all around interesting fellow. I was lucky enough to meet him at Balticon this year during my first pilgrimage and I’ve wanted to get him on the show ever since. Well, the waiting is over. I talked to Dan about writing, marketing and all sorts of other good things and today I share that discussion with you. You may hear some things that surprise you but isn’t that what this show is all about? 🙂 In the feedback section of the show, I talk about my NaNoWriMo journey this year. Some successes, some incompletes and even a couple disappointments. Thanks for listening. Show Notes 00:00 — Opening – Get Published Episode […]

Get Published Episode 44 – Awesomeness with Kimi Alexandre
I had the pleasure to talk with Kimi Alexandre for this episode. For those of you who don’t know who Kimi is, she is a podcaster, writer and professional voice actress. And she is the founder of SpecFicDB.com If you have listened to any of the better known podcast fiction out there, chances are good that you have heard her voice. She talks about SpecFicDb, Tale Chasing (her podcast for Urban Fantasy writers), Guardians (another of her podcasts) and Voice Acting.

NaNo has been another great experience thus far, but […]

Now that Flying Island Press has two issues of their new e-magazine “Flagship” completed and available for purchase, I wanted to talk with Zach Ricks and Scott Roche about how things went. What worked? What didn’t? How could things be better and just how did the writing community do with their submissions? Zach and Scott share a lot of great information about the past and give us an insight into the future of Flying Island Press including the addition of two new magazines in the new year. In the feedback section of the show, I get a question from Darcy which asks, “How do I decide what stories to write? Do I write what publishers are asking for or do […]
