It has been a busy last few months and things are really starting to roll for me. I have a book coming out in August, the anthology Jeffrey Hite and I have been working on now has a publisher (Five Rivers Publishing) and I have a brand new podcast about to debut this month. The new podcast is one of those projects that just feels right. I had the original idea flash through my brain when I heard what two of my online friends (JR Murdock and Scott Roche) were planning this year.

Get Published Episode 63 – John Mierau, Creative Force
John Mierau is a wordsmith, a story teller, a scifi and fantasy hack not to mention, first and foremost, a family man. He is also a fellow Canadian podcaster and, as far as the Parsec awards are concerned, one of my main competitors. He is also a great person to talk to and I am honoured to have him on my show. I also talk about doing guest posts and the value of it to both the post writer and the site owner. I hope you enjoy the show.

Read moreGet Published Episode 46 – Jaym Gates & Erika Holt talk Anthologies
I first met Jaym Gates and Erika Holt via Twitter. Jaym started out as a writer, added reporting, administrating and promotional work and then made a joke on twitter that led to her becoming an editor. Erika writes speculative fiction, is an intern for award winning anthologist Jennifer Brozek and reads slush for Scape, the e-zine of YA speculative fiction. Both ladies have a lot of great things to say about putting together an anthology including common mistakes writers make and why some stories are chosen while others are not. In the feedback section, I have a question from DanDanTheArtMan about podcasting my stories and what I’ve learned. Thanks for listening. Show Notes 00:00 — Opening – Get Published Episode […]

I had the opportunity to talk with Author, Freelance Editor and Literary Agency Intern CA (Cassandra) Marshall. We talked about the importance of agents to authors and a few other things too. It was a great conversation that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. I didn’t get any questions or feedback for this episode so I thought it would be nice to give you all a view of my own personal plan to publication. I talk about my four main tactics and the success I’ve had so far. Thanks for listening. -Michell Show Notes 00:00 — Opening – Get Published Episode 32 – The Importance of Agents: A Conversation with CA Marshall Everything has to start somewhere and this is the start […]
