This week on Sneople, the Sneople cover a genre proves a little tricky to define, spans movies, tv, books, and comics, and incites an argument (or two) amongst our hosts - Urban Fantasy! This episode starts, as many do, with definitions - what exactly makes an urban fantasy movie, and how is it different from straight up monster movies or something with fantasy elements that takes place in modern times? After a quick but decisive discussion, the Sneople move onto some of their favorites of the genre, dig through multiple lists of “urban fantasy” media to decide if they actually count as part of the genre, and get into why it's so hard to make urban fantasy work on film. They also, as always, get severely off topic, look at a lot of weird wiki pages, and learn about new weird stuff that they now obviously have to read/watch. Not necessarily in that order. If you disagree with their definition of urban fantasy and/or want to submit recs for good urban fantasy to read or watch, their email inbox is always open. Keep in mind that they are extremely right about what urban fantasy is, but arguing is still fun anyway!

In dieser Folge von "Mission Bestseller" begrüße ich erneut meine Freundin und Kollegin, die Autorin Freya von Korff, die bereits zum zweiten Mal im Podcast zu Gast ist. Im Mittelpunkt steht ihr mutiger Schritt vom klassischen Urban Fantasy Genre hin zur gefragten Romantasy – eine Mischung aus Romance und Fantasy, die derzeit große Begeisterung bei jungen Leserinnen und auch Lesern weckt. Freya teilt ihre Erfahrungen und Learnings aus dem Genrewechsel, berichtet offen von ihren Erwartungen, Erfolgen und Herausforderungen sowie von ihren persönlichen Sichtweisen zum Thema "Writing to Market". Außerdem lässt sie uns an der Entwicklung und dem Launch ihrer neuen Pharaonensaga teilhaben, verrät Insights zur Buchvermarktung, dem Messeerfolg und wie sie den Balanceakt zwischen Markttrend und künstlerischer Authentizität meistert. Du suchst Einblicke ins Selfpublishing, aktuelle Buchtrends und Freyas Autorinnenreise? Dann bist du bei dieser Episode genau richtig! In dieser Podcast-Folge sprechen wir unter anderem folgende Aspekte an: Was waren für Freya von Korff die wichtigsten Gründe, den Schritt von Urban Fantasy in Richtung Romantasy zu wagen? Welche Rolle spielt „Writing to Market“ für Freya und wie schafft sie es, dabei authentisch zu bleiben? Wie hat Freya den Launch ihres neuen Buches auf der Leipziger Buchmesse erlebt und was war dabei für sie besonders überraschend? Inwiefern unterscheidet sich Freyas neue Pharaonen-Saga von klassischen Romantasy-Büchern – sowohl inhaltlich als auch stilistisch? Was war laut Freya besonders erfolgreich an ihrer Marketing-Strategie, speziell auf TikTok und der Buchmesse? Wie bewertet Freya den aktuellen Romantasy-Trend und den damit verbundenen „Hype“ im Selfpublishing-Bereich? Welche Balance sucht Freya zwischen eigenen künstlerischen Ansprüchen und den Erwartungen des Marktes? Wie hat Freya das Feedback bzw. die Reaktion ihrer bestehenden Leserschaft auf den Genrewechsel erlebt? Worauf legt Freya besonders Wert bei der Gestaltung und Produktion ihrer Bücher (z.B. Farbschnitt, Hardcover, Charakterkarten)? Wie steht Freya dazu, Bücher in schnellem Veröffentlichungsrhythmus herauszubringen, wie es manche im Selfpublishing erfolgreich praktizieren?   Hier die Links, die ich im Podcast anspreche, und weiterführende Informationen, Tipps und Erfahrungsberichte rund um Bücher, eBooks und deinen Erfolg: Hier findest du Freya von Korffs Internetseite: https://freyavonkorff.com/ Hier findest du Freya auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freya_von_korff Hier kommst du zum „Pharaonenblut“ auf Amazon: https://amzn.to/3GJNQte Hier unsere Podcast-Folge vor Freyas Genrewechsel zu Romantasy: https://mission-bestseller.com/folge-317-romantasy-die-mischung-von-romance-und-fantasy-im-selfpublishing/ Hier geht es zu den Mission Bestseller Buchmarketing-Bootcamps: https://mission-bestseller.com/buchmarketingcamp Unter diesem Link kannst du dich zu meinen aktuellen kostenlosen Online-Trainings anmelden: https://mission-bestseller.com/onlinetraining Hier kommst du zum Mission Bestseller Schreib-Bootcamp: https://mission-bestseller.com/bootcamp   Hier findest du alles rund ums Selfpublishing: https://mission-bestseller.com Einige der Links auf dieser Seite sind Affiliate-Links und ich erhalte eine Provision, wenn du über sie kaufst, die sich nicht auf deinen Kaufpreis auswirkt.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

Send us a textWe're chatting with Elle Kaelee today. Elle has always been a student of storytelling, and her career over the years has involved theater, photography, and, of course, writing. She released Glass Wings, a dark urban fantasy, as initially a way of coping with the death of family members, but it turned into something much bigger—a full trilogy that will be fully released by the end of Fall 2025. The second book of the trilogy, Burning Glass, was released in late December 2024. She lives with her family, a mother of two little boys, in Seattle and can often be found at farmers' markets and breweries. This episode covers adult themes, so you may want to pop in a pair of headphones. Either way, this episode is a must-listen!Episode Highlights:Elle's Creative Career Journey: From theater to costume design to photography, Elle shares stories from her fascinating creative career, including how she perfected getting people to "do with their face what she needed them to do" during photoshoots. The Origin of Glass Wings: Elle talks about how her writing journey began during childhood (sometimes being grounded sparks creativity!) and how her dark urban fantasy trilogy grew from personal grief into a full immersive world.Parenting Adventures: Hear Elle's perspective on parenting, plus insights from her unique experience living van life for a year.Books, Hoarding and Trigger Warnings: We discuss our shared love for books and how Elle navigates all the books she wants to read with her van lifestyle. She also explains the importance of trigger warnings and why she includes them at the start of her books.Connect with Elle Kaelee:InstagramWebsitePurchase Elle's BooksBooks and authors mentioned:Harry Potter series by J.K.

We hope you've all had a wonderful New Year and are starting 2024 off on the right foot. We just wanted to share a trailer for a new show from our fantastic friend Ella Watts. We were there for early script readings (and you're going to hear Beth's voice in a later episode, although not, perhaps, in a way you've ever heard it before). It's going to be incredible and we can't wait to hear it, so we hope you'll like it too! Transcripts are available here: https://bit.ly/CamlannTeaser Camlann is a post-apocalyptic urban fantasy podcast inspired by folklore and Arthurian legends.
