Those of you who listened to episode 79a know that the interview with Lee Modesitt Jr. was cut in half due to length. I didn’t want you to have to wait two weeks for the second half of that interview so you are getting the part ‘b’ of episode 79 a mere week later. However, because it is part ‘b’, this episode will be a bit shorter than usual; I won’t have the normal Tips and Typos section. I hope you don’t mind. Before we get into the show I also wanted to give you all an update on my progress with Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero. I received, what should be the final set of edits, on March 10th. Since […]

Get Published Episode 79a – L.E. Modesitt Jr. Part 1
When I was at World Fantasy Convention in San Diego last year, I had the good fortune to meet several of my favorite authors.

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. They both have some pretty aggressive writing schedules for this year. Somehow, their plans made me think of a TV show I watched when I was young. […]
Read moreNetworking For The Win!
I’ve preached the networking mantra for quite some time now talking about how important it is for writers (well, anyone actually) to go forth and meet other people through whatever means possible. In the past few months I have seen just how fantastic good networking can be. Let me give you a brief rundown of some networking successes I’ve had lately: Twitter – I have met a huge number of very cool people on Twitter. Those contacts have resulted in friendships, interview guests for Get Published, collaboration projects, publishing opportunities.

Facebook – […]
