- Matt and Mur come to you live with another patented Ditch Diggers Q&A episode! They are, as always, woefully late at catching up on feedback, but it is for a good reason!
- Matt should not be put in charge of the world or allowed to solve its problems.
- A question from April concerning the Ditch Diggers’ thoughts on creating a cohesive writer brand when writing in multiple genres and medium (Mur is the same thing as Marvel).
- Kay asks Mur about self-publishing her novel SIX WAKES in the UK despite the fact she sold it to publishers in America and multiple other territories.
- Matt and Mur vow to devote an entire episode with qualified guests to the topic of back-channeling and confronting industry predators.
- Diane wants to know if and how library check-outs of books support authors.
- Publishing/selling companion pieces to fiction you’ve sold to a separate publisher.
- The Ditch Diggers make it to June! Katie asks about writing and selling “trashy” fiction, and Matt goes off on marketing and “literary” labels.
- Assembling a crack team of writers for collaborative projects, and dealing with the personalities of those involved.
- Matt and Mur don’t answer a question about contracts because the person asking the question linked them to a tweet that no longer exists.
- The Ditch Diggers are caught up on your queries! For now, anyway.
- Mur has errands to run and many books available for purchase (which she shills briefly), and Matt has a novella excerpt in a new edition of Christa Faust’s HOODTOWN (which he shills briefly).
