Get Published Episode 100 – Aaron Kite Talks Wattpad

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

Yes that’s right, episode 100 is finally here! It has been a wonderful journey that has lasted much longer than I ever expected. I have learned so much from doing the podcast and speaking to all my guests not to mention all of the friends and contacts I’ve made along the way. It has truly been life changing.

Some of the many highlights? Well, I got to have several fanboy moments with authors like Jack Whyte, Robert J Sawyer, JC Hutchins, Scott Sigler, Gail Carriger and David B Coe. I’ve met many up-and-coming superstars and I have made a lot of new friends.

I met my publisher through the podcast and have learned a number of things about the publishing industry. I also met all of my current collaboration partners via the podcast. It has helped to create a wealth of opportunities for me.

I have also had the opportunity to meet some fledgling authors and watch them grow in their writing. That has been a lot of fun, especially knowing that I’ve played some small part in their progress. Do you have any stories to tell? Have you learned anything from the podcast that you would like to share? I would love to hear from you. It’s those stories and bits of feedback that keep me podcasting.

Thank you all for sharing the past four years with me. It has been a fun time that I’m looking forward to continuing.

In today’s episode I speak to Aaron Kite about Wattpad. He has used the online community that Wattpad provides to great affect. We talk about what Wattpad is and how to get the most out of it.

I also have another great Unorthodox Writing Tips from JR Murdock. In this episode he talks about recursive writing.

That’s today’s episode. I hope you enjoy it.

I’ve been on the road a fair amount the past few weeks and I have learned that the tools you use are critical to your creative success. There are plenty of applications that will allow you to stay in touch with home and keep your writing and podcasting moving forward. Things like Dropbox, Google docs, Skype and Logmein can really help.

In today’s episode, Jeffrey Hite and I talk about the progress of our anthology, A Method to the Madness: A Guide to the Super Evil. We talk about the challenges, what has worked and what we have accomplished.

JR Murdock also has another Unorthodox Writing Tips in the Tips and Typos. He discusses some tricks you can use to give more depth to your characters.

That’s today’s episode. I hope you enjoy it.

Get Published Episode 88 – Michell Plested Does A Reading

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

I have been talking about my upcoming debut novel, Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero for months now and it is now about to be released. The actual release date is scheduled for August 1, 2012.

I thought it would be nice to share some of the book I’ve worked so hard to bring to you. So today, instead of an interview, you will be getting a reading of chapter 1 by me.

I’m also very lucky to have another Unorthodox Writing Tip from JRMurdock. This time he talks about the fact that he doesn’t know what you know.

That’s today’s episode. I hope you enjoy it.
