 Episode 005: Reading Live, Dying Live | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 18:23

How do authors prepare for live readings? What is the draw of a live reading? In this episode I talk about how I approach live readings, set within the context of my upcoming reading in Kansas City with authors Brandon Tietz and Jesus Angel Garcia. Spoiler alert: I agree with you, live author readings tend […]

 Interviewed at Booked Podcast about the Warmed and Bound collection | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 31:26

The wonderful guys at Booked Podcast are conducting a marathon series of interviews with the contributors to Warmed and Bound story collection. I am lucky enough to have appeared at their podcast once before, so coming back feels more like a stop back to hang out than an actual interview in which I am trying […]

 Episode 004: Fictional Money OR The Whore Part II | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 13:08

Yes, another episode about the role of the whore personality among the writer’s many bank of guises. This time, I approach the idea that perhaps an author shouldn’t take the largest advance offered to him. What does such a gesture mean in terms of the author’s career? When is it okay to take whatever money […]

 Episode 003: Technology and the Author Whore | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 12:41

This week I talk about the necessary entrepreneurial spirit of the contemporary author. I know; “boooooooooo” you say. Me too. But the fact is that publishers, even (perhaps especially) independent and small press publishers are relying more and more on the marketing savvy of the author. Is this fair? Probably not. Is it the reality? […]

 Episode 002: Attention, Author Promotion! One Night Only! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 20:47

Authors, you have to promote yourself. You can’t avoid it. But you can reinterpret what “promotion” means. Gone should be the negative connotations and skewed associations. Promotion should be embraced. At its core, promotion is simply a way to get readers to you books. As an author, you want people to read your books, right? […]

 Episode 001: Rent-to-Own Your Landscape | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 7:18

Fresh from episode zero comes episode one. See, I’m good at math. Here I talk a bit about the importance of a writer to claim ownership of his/her location. Too many writers, especially newer writers, still equate capital-P Publishing with the East coast (in the US, anyway). The problem with limiting scope to the coast […]
