Confidence Breeds Success – Success Breeds Confidence

Posted on by

The title of this post seems to be a bit of a catch-22 doesn’t it? An even bigger question might be, “What the heck are you talking about exactly?” From a writing perspective it simply means this: you cannot get published if you don’t have the confidence in you work to submit it. Now, submitting a story doesn’t guarantee your work will be picked up. Far from it. Chances are extremely good that you will get rejections. It is one of the downsides to being a writer. Still, sending your stories and working to improve your craft will pay dividends. Take me for example. I’ve been submitting my work for several years without success.

Someone very accurately said, “It is like coming home.” As odd as it may sound she was absolutely right. It was home for so many different reasons. Let’s start with the people.

Get Published Episode 33 – Double Feature – Scott Sigler & Flying Island Press

Posted on by

Today’s episode is a special double-feature. I was lucky enough to talk with Zach Ricks and Scott Roche of Flying Island Press during Balticon 44. They talk about the new e-magazine “Flagship” and the upcoming submission deadline (June 15th) for their first issue. I also interviewed Scott Sigler who has the novel “Ancestor” coming out June 22nd. I wanted to get both in front of you before the deadlines so you get two for the price of one. Both are great conversations that I hope you’ll enjoy. Thanks for listening. Show Notes 00:00 — Opening – Get Published Episode 33 – Double Feature – Scott Sigler & Flying Island Press Everything has to start somewhere and this is the start […]
