I’ve been curious about screenwriting and just how a writer can make it in Hollywood. Can screenwriters work outside Los Angeles and be successful? I was able to ask these questions and many more when I talked to Jennifer White who is a screenwriter, tagline writer and novelist.

I am also happy to have JRMurdock do another of his Unorthodox Writing Tips. In today’s show he talks about paying attention.

I also wanted to briefly talk about a couple of new projects I’m working on that you may or may not be aware of. The first, of these is the Mad Scientist Handbook that you have likely heard a promo for on previous episodes of the show. The Handbook is what I’m calling a pseudo-anthology. It is going to be a tongue-in handbook for the wannabe Super-villain. Picture Dr. Evil as a boy and what he would read as he tries to take over the world. Submissions are now open and you can find more information at madscientistanthology.wordpress.com.

The second project that is scheduled to kick off on February 29th is the Action Pack Podcast. I am working on this project with Scott Roche, AKA spiritualtramp on Twitter, and my writing partner, JRMurdock who you will hear later in the show.

We’re all pretty excited about this one. In this monthly podcast we will each be writing a serialized story. That’s three distinct stories, a portion of which you will hear each and every month until they are done. All three stories will be in every episode. We will also be putting them out in an e-Book pulp version each month through Flying Island Press. For my story, I will finally be writing Boy Scouts of the Apocalypse. We have music and artwork all lined up and I know it’s going to be awesome. I cannot wait to share the first episode with you all.

Those are a couple of the newest projects on the go. Lots to finish up so I can get submitting some new stuff too. I would love to hear about your projects. Drop me a line to tell me what’s going on in 2012 for you and I will pimp your upcoming work in a future episode’s Tips and Typos.

That’s the lineup for today. I hope you enjoy the show.

Happy New Year!

As you know, I’ve been working on a novel with JRMurdock. Our work together is my first time collaborating with another auther and it has been a real learning experience. Both JR and I have had questions about collaborating from various people so we thought it would be helpful if we talk about our experiences. You will hear more in the main section of the show.

I’ve also been looking at my to-do list for 2012. It’s a pretty long one and I will be challenged to complete it. In the tips and typos section, I will be talking about the various projects and how I plan to complete them all.

This episode marks the third anniversary for “Get Published”. I’ve had a great deal of fun doing the show and hope to for the foreseeable future but I also want to be considerate of your needs. If there are any topics you would like to hear more about, please drop me a line to let me know.

That’s the lineup for today. I hope you enjoy the show.

Get Published Episode 73 – Jeremy Lassen & Nightshade Books

As I talked about last episode, I went to World Fantasy Convention hoping to line up some guests for the show. The first, with Michael Stackpole was a great conversation but there was a lot of background noise that I wasn’t able to clean up.

My second interview also suffers from background noise, this time from people in the area. I kept trying to find different and better places to do the interviews but everywhere I went there were people. Today’s interview is with Jeremy Lassen, Editor-in-Chief at Nightshade books. I met Jeremy once before and I was very happy to get some of his time for the interview.

I also have another segment of JRMurdock’s “Unorthodox Writing Tips”. I enjoyed his first one and I hope you did and will again.

That’s the lineup for today. I hope you enjoy the show.
