  • Such a fun show

    Thank you so much for your interview with VE Schwab. It is so interesting hearing about her struggle with anxiety and how it affects her writing process. I learned so much and appreciate the conversation about the writing process happening between two writers. She is so down to earth, would love to hang out with her- glad you got the chance! I really enjoy the book reviews, chats and interviews. Keep up the great work.

  • Favorite talk show?

    I was introduced to this podcast via booksaresick. Fair to say I was instantly hooked. So much so, that I’ve gone back to the first episodes with Evan and Chad and slowly working my way through them all. They are so easy to listen to and it’s just a fun time. Big fan of the Friday Forge episodes. If you’re a fan of the genre, I can’t recommend this enough.

  • Only podcast that I look forward to

    Can’t say enough good things about this podcast. I’ve been listening for over a year now, and I owe it to Chad and Evan for getting me back into reading after a long hiatus. I have a long commute Monday mornings and always look forward to the Monday morning minute to get my week started off with what feels like two close friends.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Author Interview - Brian McClellan
Q: How do you know when something needs to be a novella or a full-size novel?
I generally know it's either going to be a huge epic or a smaller story idea that's not big enough for a novel.
Author Interview - Brian McClellan
Q: How's it feel to return to Powder Mage?
It felt weird but also nostalgic, like walking through a childhood home.
Author Interview - Philip Fracassi
Q: At what point of the process do you lock into the theme of your book?
Initially, I write a one to two-page summary outlining the main theme, which helps guide my writing and ensures I focus on what's important in the story.
Author Interview - Philip Fracassi
Q: What's the process like for writing a novel compared to screenwriting?
Screenwriting is very technical and structured, while writing a novel allows for more freedom and exploration of themes and character depth.
Author Interview: Stephen Graham Jones
Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring authors?
Finish your projects and keep submitting your work. Understand that rejection is part of the process and don't wait to hear back before starting your next one.
