POPULARITY
What if the things we suffered from manifested as a magical ability? Illustrator and first-time author, Bill Masuku, answers this question in his forthcoming novel, Misfortunism, where misery becomes real power. Bill joins the Typed Out podcast this week to chat about his literary debut, the importance of diversifying niche genre literature from page to cover, and his personal journey of discovering his own creativity.
It's National Novel Writing Month! And in the first of this four-part series, I speak with Kelan Gerriety, founder of the Sera Blue publishing company, along with fellow horror-fantasy author Jason Hes. Together, Kelan, Jason, and I discuss the importance of Queer representation in niche genre literature as well as the first-ever Comic Con Africa. Joining as my co-host for this episode is my friend and fellow lover of all things nerd, Courtney Antonioli. Be sure to head over to the Typed Out website for audio previews of Into The Dark by Kelan Gerriety and Our Immaculate by Jason Hes.
In 2016, we interviewed Kelan Gerrity from ‘Sera Blue’, a new age publishing company based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Kelan, a writer herself, offered a very interesting promotion - if you purchased a copy of her book, ‘Crimson Skies’, you could submit a story idea that ‘Sera Blue’ would edit and publish for free.After a long and challenging process, due to the quality of the entries, Sera Blue declared a winner - Joburg based writer Jason Hes, for his horror novel submission, ‘Our Immaculate’.We recently sat down with both Jason and Kelan to discuss Jason's path to geekdom, the competition process overall, and how Jason came upon the ideas that formed the basis of his horror story.
