Tesseracts has become a yearly tradition of showcasing Canadian writing talent. This year the anthology series did something it hasn’t done before: an anthology comprised completely of YA short fiction.

I talk to one of the editors, Susan MacGregor about the anthology, how it came to be and what kinds of things she looked for when choosing the stories.

I’m also very pleased to have a segment from Allison Duncan’s AuthorOutbreak.com. Allison talks about handouts and discounts that are available during NaNoWriMo.

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

Get Published Episode 69 – Virginia O’Dine & Bundoran Press

I’ve had the good fortune to meet some remarkable people at conventions and online. One of those people is Virginia O’Dine. Virginia is one of the founders, the publisher and editor for Bundoran Press.

We have tried to get together for an interview before, but it has taken the better part of two years to finally line up our schedules. It was a great conversation and I hope you enjoy it.

I also want to give you a personal update. By the time this episode hits the feed, I will be at the 2011 World Fantasy Convention with my writing partner, JR Murdock. JR is from San Diego where the con is being held and we both though it would be a great opportunity to finally meet and do some networking together.

I’ve also been working hard to get the revisions done on my upcoming novel, Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero. Before you ask, I knew the character, Mik Murdoch long before I knew the writer, JR Murdock.

At any rate, the combination of the revisions and World Fantasy Convention means that I don’t have quite as much time as I would like to work on Get Published. Therefore, episode 69 will be a bit shorter than usual with no Tips and Typos.

Still, Virginia is great and definitely worth listening to. I hope you enjoy the show.

I follow a number of people on Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus. Publishers, Editors, a bunch of authors and even a couple agents. I’ve also managed to get people from each of those categories on the show. Well, almost all of them.

I’ve never had an actual agent on the show. Happily, today that all changes as I talk to Amy Boggs who is an Agent at the Donald Maass Literary Agency.

I also talk about NaNoWriMo, which is just around the corner.

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