Get Published Episode 57 – A Talk with New Horror Master, James Melzer

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

Hello Everyone and welcome to Get Published.

I’m very excited to have today’s guest on the show. James Melzer is the award-winning author of Escape: A Zombie Chronicles novel which is coming to print in 2012 from Simon & Schuster and Permuted Press. I’ve been meaning to have James on the show almost since the show began, but it never quite happened. That oversight has been taken care of in this episode.

I also received a question from @K_A_Dewberry on Twitter that I discuss in the “Tips and Typos” section. It’s a question I get a lot. Namely, “when should I start building my platform”.

I also wanted to give you all an update on my book’s progress. As you may know, I have a YA Mystery coming out very soon. I wanted it to be available in May, but it is looking more and more like it will come out in June. Stay tuned.

And with that, enjoy the show.

His short fiction has appeared in works from Library of the Living Dead Press, and his podcasts have been downloaded over one million times. He is a proponent of self-publishing, podcasting, and social media, and although he hails from Canada, Melzer currently lives in Pennsylvania with his wife, daughter, and husky who you may or may not here barking in the background. The husky, not the wife…

Get Published Episode 45 – The Writing Adventures of J Daniel Sawyer

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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.

Get Published Episode 33 – Double Feature – Scott Sigler & Flying Island Press

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Today’s episode is a special double-feature. I was lucky enough to talk with Zach Ricks and Scott Roche of Flying Island Press during Balticon 44. They talk about the new e-magazine “Flagship” and the upcoming submission deadline (June 15th) for their first issue. I also interviewed Scott Sigler who has the novel “Ancestor” coming out June 22nd.

I wanted to get both in front of you before the deadlines so you get two for the price of one. Both are great conversations that I hope you’ll enjoy.

Thanks for listening.
