This podcast sees debut interviews from two excellent guests. Firstly the writer of "Media Monster" OMJ Ryan joins us, his website is here: https://www.omjryan.com/ His book gets a good plug on the podcast and it's easily worth a few of your shekels. Both entertaining and interesting, I read the whole thing in about a week. Also on the podcast we have another fiction writer, Summer Heacock. Her website is here - www.fizzygrrl.com - and her excellent twitter feed is here: https://twitter.com/Fizzygrrl Then, towards the end of the podcast, where we traditionally go for a bit of a ramble I mention a bunch of stuff which originally I had loads more to say about... only to accidentally delete the audio I was working on. Hey ho. The bare bones were - Blair White says right wing YouTubers are faking resistance to their work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7Ft2E_ibxQ And Grievance Studies lances the puss filled boil of left wing academia: https://spectator.us/2018/10/grievance-studies/ And the potted version of what I was going to say was; 'if you spend your time trying to shut people up you are generally helping their cause'. So, who needs a big long hour of audio to say that eh? We're fine. All bases covered. Some of them belong to us.
About Summer: Okay. A bio. Here I go. Just so we are on the same page, I am not mentally capable of talking about myself in third person here, so there will be no, “Summer likes long walks on the beach and is conversationally inept.” NONE OF THAT. Let’s see. I am a writer, a […]

In this episode of PubTalkTV, we focus on one scary (but necessary!) part of the creation process: revision! With special guest Alison Weiss, editor at Skyhorse, we delve into the best—and worst—ways to revise, and what do to if your revisions don’t go as planned—your beta readers lead you astray—or you come up with a brilliant idea AFTER you’ve submitted your work. Panelists include authors Summer Heacock and Kelsey Macke, agents Monica Odom, Jessica Sinsheimer, and Roseanne Wells—and Senior Token Male Correspondent Ted Fox. On the Twitter stream, sharing delicious treats, our very own Veronica Bartles. Music by Brian Schwartz. In this episode, we answer the following questions (plus many more!): Where did you get your best beta readers, and how did you choose which suggestions to implement as you revise? When can you trust them? What if their advice is off the mark? (For the panel): What kind of books are you looking for RIGHT NOW? What do you do if you’re out on submission and get great feedback that inspires a revision? If an agent asks for a revise and resubmit, and lists several plot points that need to be changed, what if one of the points doesn’t work for the writer? Is it offensive not to take suggestions? If your first manuscript gets all rejections, but your second manuscript has interest, what is the proper thing to do with the first book? Revising can feel like so close, yet so far—when is it time to put the pen down and back away slowly? How do you know you’ve received bad advice on your manuscript? PubTalkTV’s first top ten list: Top Ten Tips for Revising! Our current #MSWL wishes for our inboxes. …Plus much, much more!
