S5E1 || Knowing Your Genre || Author Henry Corrigan

Listen Later

We're starting Season 5! Today I talk about knowing your genre, why it's important, and what to do if you haven't figured it out. Then, I chat with author Henry Corrigan about:

  • What the American Dream is and how it’s been skewed by society
  • How his nightmares inspired his novel, A Man in Pieces
  • His publication experience with Dark Stroke Books
  • How hybrid publishing works
  • Having a book that sits in different genres
  • How to juggle drafting in different genres/categories
  • Meeting genre expectations, trope expectations, etc.
  • How writing has helped him with his mental health
  • His advice on the process of writing through mental health issues
  • Accepting the idea that failure is inevitable, but never let it stop you from trying again the next day

    • You can find Henry online at www.henrycorrigan.blogspot.com, Twitter @HenryCorrigan, and Facebook @henry.corrigan.35.
