  • Stereotypes, Tropes, and Censorship in Writing | Creative Writing and Society
    Audio originally recorded for a YouTube video.
    David Gane and DC Wright-Hammer are joined by a very guest Poulomi Sanyal, scifi and lit fic author, to discuss the controversial topics of stereotype, tropes, and censorship. 
    Disclaimer: The phrase "coloured person" is used in this audio interchangeably with the phrase "person of colour." A discussion occurred after recording about how the phrase "coloured person" is no longer considered acceptable by many in the United States because of its historically abusive use over the years, and now "person of colour" is preferred.

  • Don't get caught with continuity errors in your story! | Creative Writing

    Audio originally recorded for a YouTube video.

    If a book doesn't have an intentional flow to it, readers may get lost or frustrated. To better understand the concept of continuity, we discuss with Sean McMahon, indie author of the Restarter Series set in a world where time travel is possible. Some questions that come up: Can a story be deliberate in breaking continuity? How important is continuity to character and story development? Are there continuity errors that are okay to leave in a story?

  • Listen to this Before Working with a Book Blogger! | Writing and Business

    Audio originally recorded for a YouTube video.

    We discuss how book bloggers are great professionals to work with to gain exposure from your brand and books. You should carefully consider each book blogger before engaging them. Be sure to examine their book review and blog policy as well as their intended audience to ensure it matches with your books, genres, and audience. Once you've found some bloggers you'd like to work with, reach out to them individually and personally, not through automated means. Understand that bloggers are humans and may give good or bad reviews, or refuse to review your books for a number of reasons. With these tips, you should be able to seek out and find bloggers that are the right fit for you, and start working with them based on their availability.

  • Don't Give Up on Your Writing Dreams | Writing and Mental Health

    Audio originally recorded for YouTube video.

    It can be easy for writers and authors to get overwhelmed and want to throw in the towel. We discuss on this episode how those in the writing community can get to this extreme, and we talk about ways to overcome it. DC offers advice like taking breaks, evaluating your goals and definition of success, and setting "negative" goals to keep you motivated and focused. David reminds us that sometimes it is okay to call it quits if being a writer and author just isn't for you. In the end, DC and David offer their twitter DMs for anyone who is struggling with any aspect of being a writer or author.
