This month, we're honored to be joined by John Wiswell (@Wiswell), who reads an excerpt of his story, "Tonight at the Palindrome." After that, we talk about our experiences navigating non-genre bachelors programs as genre writers and why it's so important to be open about our rejections as well as our sales.
Things that we mentioned this episode:
"Tank!" by John Wiswell
"The Lottery," by Shirley Jackson
The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold
TSR (the publisher, as opposed to "TRS," as in the Tandy TRS-80, which was mistakenly name-dropped in the episode)
"Tank!" by Yoko Kanno and Seatbelts
Personal Canons: Dragon Ball by John Wiswell (free to read, despite what was said on the show, but do consider subscribing anyway)
Sarah Gailey's Here's the Thing
"The Bottomless Martyr," by John Wiswell
Please join us again next month, on December 18th, when our guest will be Phoebe Barton!
