Get Published Episode 102 – Nicole Chardenet Brings Laughs to Love

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

You may not know this, but I have been looking for guests who write outside the normal featured genres on Get Published. Traditionally, I have had lots of Science Fiction and Fantasy writers with the occasional Horror person thrown in for good measure.

This hasn’t been done to exclude all the other genres, I promise you. It is more about who I know in the writing field than any effort to exclude anyone.

That means, I haven’t been networking outside my own chosen genre as well as I should. That is a shame because ALL writers have something to share about their own publishing journeys, market differences and even the various tropes that are inherent to their own genres of choice.

I am happy to have a guest from a new genre today.

My guest today is Nicole Chardenet. She has just released her newest book, Sumer Lovin’ in multiple eFormats with the dead tree version coming out in just a few days.

Sumer Lovin’ is a very different book from what I normally read. It is a comedy of sorts that deals with people trying to find love and lust in Toronto. Definitely not something I normally read. I could tell you what I thought of it now, but that would only spoil the review I will give you in the Tips and Typos section of the book.

Regardless of whether it is normally my thing, Nicole and I had a LOT of fun in the interview. Humour is something I am very interested in and the conversation was great. Oh yeah, and did I mention that Nicole’s first book was self-published? Because of that, she was able to give us a comparison between self-published and tradionally published. It was great!

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

Get Published Episode 98 – JW Schnarr Talks Horror

The holiday season is upon us and for some that means stress. For me, stress really starts to show up around deadline time. If I have properly scheduled myself, no stress. If I have too much going on, proper scheduling goes out the window.

This episode I talk about how goals should help you reduce that stress if done properly.

I also have Bill Schnarr on the show. Bill is an award winning journalist, horror author, editor and publisher. We had a really great conversation that I’m pleased to share with you today.

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

Get Published Episode 91 – Mike Talks to Publisher of New Independent, Tyche Books

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

When I attended the 2012 “When Words Collide”, I had the opportunity to speak with a number of old friends and make a few new ones. One of the old friends is Tina Moreau. When I first, she was a young writer who also read slush for a local press. Shortly after that, she started to work as an editor for that same press.

Then she took a break to start a family and I didn’t see her for a couple years.

This year’s convention marks the first time I’ve seen her in a couple years and she came to Calgary as the head of a brand new publishing house. Tina is a co-owner and publisher for Tyche Books. I had the opportunity to sit down with Tina and hear exactly what Tyche is looking for. They have some really interesting ideas and I look forward to seeing more from them.

I also talk about adding pizzazz to your writing using experiences and interesting facts.

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