Now that Flying Island Press has two issues of their new e-magazine “Flagship” completed and available for purchase, I wanted to talk with Zach Ricks and Scott Roche about how things went. What worked? What didn’t? How could things be better and just how did the writing community do with their submissions? Zach and Scott share a lot of great information about the past and give us an insight into the future of Flying Island Press including the addition of two new magazines in the new year.

In the feedback section of the show, I get a question from Darcy which asks, “How do I decide what stories to write? Do I write what publishers are asking for or do I write what I want and then find a publisher. My answer may (or may not) surprise you.

Thanks for listening.

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.
