I often think that, to be a successful writer, you should have a good understanding of the writing craft from multiple angles. That means writing, reading, editing, marketing and promotion and even publishing. That’s the ideal, of course, and few of us have either the time or the connections to make that experience happen.
On today’s episode, I get to talk to someone who has seen publishing and the writing industry from several different directions. She is a writer, editor, slush pile reader, writing instructor and published author. Barbara Galler-Smith couples that with a wealth of varied life experiences and has a lot of interesting things to say.
I also talk about my experiences collaborating on a novel with JR Murdock. I would like to call this a lessons learned on collaboration.
I also wanted to mention that I will be at World Fantasy Convention in Toronto in a couple weeks. Not only with this be my first WFC as a pro, but I will be on a panel too. If you are at the convention, please be sure to look me up.
That’s today’s episode. I hope you enjoy it.
