Get Published Episode 74 – The Fine Art of Collaboration

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

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.

Ramping Up for a New Year

Posted by: Michell in Irreverent Muse

2011 was pretty busy and I got a lot done. I left a lot of things needing finishing touches though too.

Since 2012 is looking to be even busier, I need to take these last few days of 2011 to finish them off and plan for the coming year.

So what does the new year hold? Well:

My first book will be out in print: “Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero”. I should also have at least one self-published book out too;
I will also be working with Jeff Hite on the Mad Scientist Anthology (which begins to accept submissions January 1, 2012, by-the-way);
I will continue to produce “Get Published” podcast;
I will be trying to find a home for “GalaxyBillies;
JRMurdock and I will be trying to find a home for our YA Steampunk novel;
I have a couple of podcast ideas that I’m developing;
Promotional work;
Revising the next “Mik Murdoch” book (hopefully);
and last, but not least, more writing. Lots more writing of short stories and novels.

There is no time to lose in fact. I guess I’d better get at it.

I hope your 2012 is shaping up to be something spectacular.

Get Published Episode 73 – Jeremy Lassen & Nightshade Books

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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.
