  • Episode 22: Author Spotlight - Emé Savage
    On our author spotlight this week, we had a great talk with Emé Savage about her books. Emé writes soulful fantasy with mysticism, magic and mayhem. She has published two books, with a third soon on the way.
    Note: We did have some minor technical difficulties with this podcast. Please note at 14.30 minutes, it should say "And so the Gidat, the lady, is sent by the Creator [to take T’Gan, a boy] out of the hands of the King" - unfortunately the audio cut out a short piece. A transcript for every episode is always available on www.lindersoncreations.com to supplement the audio.

  • Episode 15: Talking Shop
    In our second Talking Shop episode, we talk about two of the writing resources we've found helpful on our journey.
    Sarah discusses The Complete Handbook of Novel Writing: Everything You Need to Know to Create and Sell Your Work, by the editors of Writer's Digest. The book is exactly what it says, and extremely comprehensive, with bonus interviews by some big name authors.
    Ashley turns to podcasts and discusses one podcast she found extremely helpful to developing the opening lines and paragraphs of our books. The podcast, Helping Writers Become Authors, is hosted by K.M. Weiland and has many useful hints.
    Also keep listening to hear what novels we're currently reading.
