S19 Ep25
I got to interview game designer turned YA romance writer James L. Sutter in this episode, and it was a blast. So much good stuff here! I also talk about my latest anger at ADHD and what I’m reading. 

From the transcript:

James L. Sutter 34:10: And so it was hugely enlightening for me to see, sort of these authors were very talented and established, going through the same outline process, you know, struggling with their pitches, struggling with characters and realizing that like, oh, every great work of art, like starts out as a pile of garbage. And like, I can make a pile of garbage.

(emphasis Mur’s)

S19 Ep24
It’s June, and I have had some disappointments (She Podcasts, Live! and Blaseball), but at least I’m not worrying about travel so much. Got my 10k words turned into my agent, and lament the loss of the podcast community. But Tee Morris, Scott Sigler, and Christiana Ellis are all live streaming too. And so is Grant Baciocco!

(from the transcript)

Mur Lafferty  00:59

…Whatever you’re afraid of, you’re not alone. And the thing is about those fears, if everybody has them, no matter how successful you are, does it really have to do with writing? 

What I’m Reading
I’m currently reading The Other Side of Infinity by Joan Smith, magical real world YA romance about seeing the future and wondering if you can make a difference.

As much as I’ve talked about agents, I still get questions, so here are some answers. However, I realize I misused a lot of words in this one. I’m having a bad day. Please don’t assume anything about me like Benoit Blanc*.

All agents will look at contracts, try to sell your books to publishers, handle foreign rights and film (and other) sales, and be your best cheerleader. Beyond that, each one is different.
