James Lowder on Collaboration Between Creators and IP Holders
This week at The Corner of Story and Game, I get to talk with James "Jim" Lowder - one of the earliest editors to work on the Dungeon and Dragons fiction line. In his time there he helped launch the careers of such amazing authors as Elaine Cunningham and Christie Golden.
Jim is also an award-winning author himself - having worked on the Avatar Trilogy that helped usher the Forgotten Realms from 1st Edition D&D to 2nd Edition (is anyone else still bitter about their assassin character dying off-screen?) He is known for his work in fantasy, dark fantasy, and horror - with publications such as Prince of Lies and Knight of the Black Rose, short fiction for such anthologies as Shadows Over Baker Street and Genius Loci, RPG material for Call of Cthulhu and Dungeons & Dragons, and comic book scripts for Image, Moonstone, and DC.
As an editor James Lowder has directed novel lines or series for both large and small publishing houses. He served as executive editor for Green Knight’s Pendragon book line and as line editor for TSR’s Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, and Dark Sun fiction releases. He’s helmed more than a dozen critically acclaimed anthologies, including the Chaosium release Madness on the Orient Express.
Currently, he is the Executive Editor at Chaosium.
Our conversation explores many aspects of Jim's career, his insights into the editing process, tips on submitting to shared IPs, and much more. We end up going very deep into creator rights and IP holder rights, and how to get the best worldbuilding and storytelling.
