Get Published Episode 59 – Balticant – The Value of Conventions

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast), Irreverent Muse

Hello everyone and thank you for joining me today.

The weekend of May 21^st, 22^nd and 23^rd is the Memorial Day weekend in the United States and that means Balticon to many podcasters and new media people. For those who could attend, it meant a weekend of fun, friends and fabulous panels.

Of course, not everyone can go to Balticon and some of us decided to have an impromptu virtual convention of our own that we called Balticant. It wasn’t well-planned or even widely attended but the conversations were fantastic and made the whole effort worthwhile.

We recorded a few of the sessions and, in this episode, I would like to play the first session where we talk about conventions, both physical and virtual and the value they bring.

I’m also delighted to have CA Marshall do another segment for the Tips and Typos section of the show. This episode she talks about Cover Creation.

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

J Daniel Sawyer is a gifted writer, podcaster and all around interesting fellow. I was lucky enough to meet him at Balticon this year during my first pilgrimage and I’ve wanted to get him on the show ever since.

Well, the waiting is over. I talked to Dan about writing, marketing and all sorts of other good things and today I share that discussion with you. You may hear some things that surprise you but isn’t that what this show is all about?

In the feedback section of the show, I talk about my NaNoWriMo journey this year. Some successes, some incompletes and even a couple disappointments.

Thanks for listening.
