Tune in to the conversation with author of 3 series and over 15 books: Alex Bledsoe, as he shares his experiences with fantasy in real life, rejection, and two seemingly opposite genres that will make you pee your pants. Whether you're writing fantasy, thriller, or modern day fiction, Alex explains how it's all rooted around real life–and why that humanity is more important than any fantasy world you can build.

Diana M. Pho and I chat about her career in publishing from her time as an international marketing assistant with Hachette to her eight years and counting as an editor with Tor Books. She walks me through the process of selecting a submission, building a presentation for it to convince her house to publish the book, and the process of actually editing and shaping the project. She also gives me some tidbits on what's happening with Robert Jordan's WHEEL OF TIME series and its next installment. This is another wonderful episode packed with quality content and you'll want to listen to it at least twice. Diana M. Pho is a two-time Hugo-nominated editor at Tor Books and Tor.com Publishing, though she’s worked in the publishing industry under various hats for the past decade. She’s also an academic scholar, activist, performer, and general rabble-rouser elsewhere. Her talented list includes Robyn Bennis, Alex Bledsoe, P. Djeli Clark, Marie Cruz, Lara Elena Donnelly, Thoraiya Dyer, A. J. Hartley, Margaret Killjoy, Kari Maaren, and Prentis Rollins; she also works with the best-selling The Wheel of Time® series and George R. R. Martin’s Wild Cards universe. Books she has edited have gone on to win the Thriller Award (Steeplejack, for Best YA), the Ditmar Award (Crossroads of Canopy, for Best Novel) and to become finalists for the Nebula, Lambda Literary Award, Shirley Jackson Award, and Andre Norton Award for Young Adult. In the steampunk community, she is best-known for running Beyond Victoriana, an award-winning, US-based blog on multicultural steampunk. She has published numerous articles on science fiction and its community. She has been interviewed for many media outlets about fandom, including CBS’s Inside Edition, MSN.com, BBC America, the Travel Channel, HGTV, and the Science Channel.

Episode 88: Tips and Tricks for Directing Youth and Steven Stack Playwright Steven Stack is a long time director. He shares his tips and tricks for directing youth. Bonus! Steven also shares some writing tips when you can't wait for inspiration. Show Notes Ashland Falls Focus at Will Episode Transcript Welcome to TFP, The Theatrefolk Podcast. I am Lindsay Price, resident playwright for Theatrefolk. Hello, I hope you're well. Thanks for listening. Welcome to Episode 88! Woohoo! Yeehaw! Oh ho! You can catch the links for this episode at theatrefolk.com/episode88. Today, I'm talking to playwright Steven Stack whose new play, Ashland Falls, has found a lovely home in our catalog. But he's also a long-time director so we're going to get him to share his tips and his tricks for directing youth and student actors. How do you do it? He's also going to share some bonus tips for how to write when you can't wait to be inspired. Now, that is a trick. Let's find out how he does it. Lindsay: Hello everybody! Welcome to the Theatrefolk Podcast. I am very happy and thrilled today. I'm looking out my window. There's snow on the ground but I can see green. I can see green and the sun is warm so that's good. And I'm very happy to welcome Steven Stack to the podcast. Hello, Steven! Steven: Hi, Lindsay! Lindsay: How are you? Steven: I'm doing great. Been sitting at my computer since 4:00 this morning. Lindsay: Why? Steven: Well, because, at the studio I work for, we have an end of the year show, and I need to write seven scenes and I've only had six days to do it because of planning issues and stuff. So, I'm in the final, like, stretch now. Lindsay: So, Steven is one of our playwrights but he also directs youth and we're going to talk all about that – some tips and tricks about working with youth. But you've just said a very interesting thing which I think also would be good for others. So, you need to write, you can't wait for inspiration, you have a deadline, you have to get this stuff done. How do you do it? How do you propel yourself to write those seven scenes? Steven: Well, basically, it's just make myself. I sit in front of the computer and then I start writing regardless because one of my writer friends, Alex Bledsoe, once when I was talking about writer's block, he basically just said, “You know that's a myth, right? If you want to write or need to write, then you write,” and, at that point, it was pretty much done. So, I need to write so I do and, basically, you get a semblance of an idea and then you just run with it and get that first draft out of the way and don't go back. When you write a terrible line, don't go, “Oh, that's awful, I need to fix it.” Just keep going until you finish it and see what happens. Lindsay: I'm a firm believer in ugly writing and ugly first drafts and that's the only way to write. So, do you create on computer? Steven: Yes. Lindsay: Yeah? Why does that work for you? Steven: Because, usually, I listen with my headphones with music, too – which, there's no one here, I don't know why I put on my headphones but I do – and it's just easier for me because I like the bright screens, I like my comfortable chair. But, I mean, I also use, sometimes, when I have more time, I use my memo pad, too. I don't like writing just on notebook paper but I'm a huge fan of, like, the flip notebook. I have tons of them and I get more and more for, like, birthdays and Christmas even though I have a lot already. Lindsay: I use to, in my temping days, I temped a lot at lawyers' offices and government offices and I have a very fond affection for yellow legal pads. Steven: Oh, nice, yeah! Lindsay: You know? So, it's a little bit longer and it's just, you know… Steven: Well, I like the white better just because I'm mesmerized by the yellow. And then, when I write with different colors, I get kind of carried away and distracted because I get distracted very easy with those things and I just like,

Interview: This week, Mike and Mike chat with Alex Bledsoe about his new book, Dark Jenny from Tor Books. While it's the third book set in this universe featuring many of the same characters, it's not a "trilogy" by the standard sense of the word. He talks about his roots in reading pulp mysteries, and how that influenced his decision to create a fantasy novel in that same style, where the characters are having new adventures, but where readers don't need to read all of the stories in order to be able to follow what's going on.   [Read more...] Source
