As you likely know, Mik Murdoch: The Power Within was released in August of this year. What you may not know is I was referred to someone who posts notices about new books. That person was and is Susan Toy. Susan has done a lot of different things in the book industry and she is trying to give back to writers by helping them to get some notice when they have new work coming out. I thought it would be interesting and appropriate to have Susan on the show to talk about the importance of promotion and to get her take on what writers can do to help themselves traverse of the muddy waters of the Internet. And before we […]

Get Published Episode 137 – Sue Baiman Gets Her Edit On

Happy Groundhog Day to those of you listening to the show on February 2nd. I watched the movie of the same name starring Bill Murray last night just to celebrate. That is a movie that I have always enjoyed. Perhaps one day I will even use the idea of a continuous looping day or moment in a story. You just never know. As you may know, I had stories appear in two anthologies in 2013. The first anthology was Lucky or Unlucky: 13 Stories of Fate. I interviewed the editor, Nila White when we talked about the anthology back in episode 124. This episode, I talk with Charlie Brown, the editor of the second anthology I appeared in. That anthology […]
