I’ve wanted to have Robert Runte’ on the show for quite some time. He has years of editing experience AND he is my editor on “Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero”. After talking with him at “When Words Collide” I knew he was the right guy for me and he had a lot of things worth hearing. After talking with him for the show, my initial thoughts were more than proved right. I also talk about my first look at my book edits and what it has meant to me thus far. There is lots of editorial goodness in this episode and I learned a lot. I hope you enjoy the show. Show Notes 00:00 — Opening – Get Published Episode 65 […]

John Mierau is a wordsmith, a story teller, a scifi and fantasy hack not to mention, first and foremost, a family man.

I had the good fortune to talk to Robin Sullivan for the show once again. This time she was fresh from negotiating a contract for her husband, Michael Sullivan, with Orbit Books. Robin brings lots of contract experience to this conversation, both from an author’s point-of-view and from the publisher’s. It was a very enjoyable and rewarding conversation for me. I also talk about how writers can go about learning some of the necessary information about their genres of choice: things like who publishes in the genre and how long the books typically are. I hope you enjoy the show. Show Notes 00:00 — Opening – Get Published Episode 62 – Negotiating Contracts Everything has to start somewhere and this […]

Hello everyone. I’m delighted to bring you another Balticant panel discussion. This time, the panel was talking about using Podcasts as Promotional Tools. The panel was VERY long and so, to avoid making the episode too long, you will only have the intro, the panel discussion and the outro. It was a great discussion that I hope you will enjoy.
