John Charles in conversation with Berkley Publishing Editors Erin Galloway and Kristin Cippola

“Authors who are marginalized are writing to a marginalized audience. And I think it's time that they be given the voice to write to all audiences. I'm really making it a mission to do that.” – Jessica Faust, Principal Literary Agent and Founder of BookEnds Literary Abigail K. Perry sits down with Jessica Faust to talk about her mission to bring more marginalized voices into publishing. She also shares her goals as a leader, including how she mentors the team at BookEnds so that they can continue to make real change in publishing. Jessica's MSWL leans heavily towards Upmarket and Women's Fiction these days, although she has a variety of genres she's interested in (see below). On the craft of writing, Jessica discusses why every book needs a plot twist—but not in the way every writer thinks. Additionally, Jessica emphasizes how the author-agent relationship is a business partnership, and that communication is key to a long-lasting career. She sheds light on what success means to different authors, how she helps her clients and agents define and gain their definition of success, and why some of her proudest moments in agenting aren't bestsellers, but authors she's helped build a sustainable career in writing.

Phoebe and Ashley (yay!) sit down with author Denise Williams about her second book, The Fastest Way to Fall, out November 2 from Berkley Publishing.

[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised. This is one of those episodes and books that really tests a host. One of those situations that tests you as a fan, consumer, and critic. Danny must face one of his favorite authors and judge whether or not he is going to continue buying his books. Danny has faced six total books by Anthony Ryan, and while one of his pieces is in his top ten favorite books, it can be argued that the rest of his collection has been disappointing. Danny must fight with his growing fire and rage, and put aside his reader's hate in an attempt to reviews the material fairly - which we know will be impossible for him. Follow Danny as he treks through the stories of the four main characters giving each their own P&N section, and then he rounds it out with a final verdict, as well as a final judgment for the series as a whole. Get ready for some metaphorical fire. ~Follow all the Legionaries on Twitter~ Danny: twitter.com/legionsarchive The Tsar: twitter.com/TsarAlexander6 Allen: twitter.com/blkydpease Spangar: twitter.com/LSFspangar ~Credits~ Original Soundcloud image prodivided by Ryan's website at: https://anthonyryan.net/the-empire-of-ashes/ Original Cover Art owned by Anthony Ryan, ACE, Berkley Publishing, old compass rose, Judith Lagerman, Laura K.

[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised. Danny has conflict with the sequels of Anthony Ryan books. However, it's been a few years since he last read one of the author's sequels and he is a different person. How will the war fair? How will the battle conclude? Danny had a lot of negative comments for the first book in the series, so what does he think of the sequel and what did it do better? What did it do worse? What are Danny's predictions for the future? A lot of questions going into this podcast and Danny provides some summaries for the four major characters along with individual P&N. He tries to keep himself cool but I think we all know how that goes.

[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised. Starting off the new century of their beloved podcast, Spangar and Danny visit one of their favorite authors. Although Danny was the only one to invest time into reading the first book of the trilogy, the style and themes are significant enough that Spangar adds a lot of commentary from past experience. With that, however, the fascinating world of the author articulately exposes his love of history and war - two things Danny loves, too. Come with the literary cousins as the explore a new world full of dragons and lost technology that closely resembles the machines and weapons used in World War One. Yes. Danny gets to cut loose in a fantasy series that plays with his favorite time periods elements. Get ready for a new style, high praise, and, of course, a possibly long list of hypocritical negatives. Tune in every Tuesday for a new episode of The Broken Shelf. ~Follow all the Legionaries on Twitter~ Danny: twitter.com/legionsarchive The Tsar: twitter.com/TsarAlexander6 Allen: twitter.com/blkydpease Spangar: twitter.com/LSFspangar ~Credits~ Original Sound Cloud image provided by Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Waking-Fire-Draconis-Memoria/dp/1101987871/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Original Cover Art owned by Anthony Ryan, ACE, Berkley Publishing, old compass rose, Judith Lagerman, Laura K.

Before becoming an author, Lou Aronica was a publishing executive for Bantam Books, Berkley Publishing and Avon Books, specializing in science fiction and fantasy but working in several genres. He co-edited the Full Spectrum anthologies with Shawna McCarthy and has worked with publishing pioneer Ian Ballantine, authors such as Ray Bradbury and the writers at Lucasfilm. His first novel, The Forever Year, came out in 2004 (originally under the pen name Ronald Anthony), and was followed by a nonfiction book, A Million Thanks, co-authored with Shauna Fleming. He's added nearly 30 books since then, including the New York Times bestsellers The Element and Finding Your Element (both with Ken Robinson) and national bestsellers Blue (fantasy), When You Went Away, The Journey Home and Anything (romance) and Leaves (women's fiction). Host Patricia McLinn talks with Lou about working on both sides of the desk and how he overcomes the hurdles of being a male romance novelist.  In Lou's words (on becoming an author): "It was really easy for me to say 'yeah, some other time'... [But] if I don't do it now... if I just go and get another job, then it's never going to happen. So that's really why I just decided to do it then." (8:58) You can find Lou on:   *His website *Facebook and *Twitter Thanks to DialogMusik for the instrumentals that accompany this podcast.
