How To Write The Future episodes

  • 45. Paper Lantern Writers, A Book Marketing Collective, Part 3

    “Everybody can find a place to fit in there - the big thing is keep writing because we love to read.” - Ana Brazil

    Writing is a very solitary activity, but relationships are what sells books.
    - Linda Ulleseit 

    In “Paper Lantern Writers, A Book Marketing Collective, Part 3” host Beth Barany, creativity coach, and science fiction and fantasy novelist chats with the founding members of the Paper Lantern Writers Collective — Ana Brazil, Edie Cay, and Linda Ulleseit — where they discuss their published anthology, the many ways they cross-promote their fiction, and their advice for being part of a collective.

    Paper Lantern Writers

    Many cultures around the world have a tradition of paper lanterns. A paper lantern amplifies and diffuses the light from a single flame, allowing the human eye to see further and more broadly in the dark. Paper Lantern Writers (PLW) aims to shine light on the shrouded stories of the past, giving modern readers a clearer perspective on the people and places that came before them. We promote the historical fiction writing of our members, both published and in progress, in order to better connect with readers and reviewers. By collaborating as a group, we build the individual careers of our members through marketing, social media, and events.

She regularly contributes to the HNS quarterly journal. She is a member of HNS, The Regency Fiction Writers, ALLi, and a founding member of Paper Lantern Writers.

  • 36. Change Your Book Marketing Mindset, Interview with Susie deVille, Part 2

    I'm always writing, writing fiction, writing non-fiction, all the things I write, all the curriculum, and all of that. I really love that. That's what really came to mind when I thought of what I'm excellent at, what I love that crosses over from the creative stuff right into marketing.”

    In “Change Your Book Marketing Mindset, Interview with Susie deVille, Part 2,” host Beth Barany, creativity coach, and science fiction and fantasy novelist, chats with Susie as they continue the conversation into her Buoyant Liberation Quadrants system and walks Beth through her quadrant in action.
