ISBW #223 - Self pub does not equal total control / John Berlyne Interview

As some authors dealing with Amazon are finding out, self pubbing your own work doesn't allow you all the control we've been led to believe. In short, READ YOUR TERMS OF SERVICE at Lulu, Amazon, Smashwords, etc. If you don't like the agreement, then don't sign.

I was finally able to pin down the very busy and important agent from the <a href="http://zenoagency.com/">Zeno Agency</a>, John Berlyne, at World Fantasy Con.

ISBW #218 Writing the Other / Lou Anders Interview

This one was tough to do. I'm pretty closed to as privileged as you can be (I'm a female non-Christian, that's about it), so the chances to offend/get something incredibly wrong are large. But that's the point. People are afraid to write about other races, other genders, other sexual orientations, other ages, other nationalities, because they're afraid to get it wrong, afraid they will offend someone. But it needs to be talked about. It needs to be written about. It makes you a better writer because you work will better reflect the world we live in, and it will make your work available to a wider audience.


And then we talk to Lou Anders from WorldCon, a very tired, loopy, Lou Anders, the Hugo Award Winning editor from Pyr!
