Since the @publishingrodeo.bsky.social and @printrunpodcast.bsky.social podcasts haven't updated lately, I'm seeking more writerly podcasts with hosts that make me giggle while teaching me stuff while I jog in the morning!

Any suggestions #writingcommunity?

I will say that I think quality plays a role! But it isn't the only indication or factor, and it's so, so subjective as to what is or isn't quality.

"Money is a real thing."

Great ep that touched on a lot of my current insecurities as an author re: career momentum.

(Also, I will also die on the universal healthcare hill.)

Publishing Rodeo Podcast @publishingrodeo.bsky.social · Oct 7

Sunyi and Scott both discuss career momentum, cheerfully losing at the Hugos, and pushback on Reddit.

And finally, they each get to give the pettiest hill they’d die on. Hint: Sunyi’s hill starts with “J” and ends in “owling”.

Authors are expected to juggle many different demands on their time and energy--from social media and self-promotion, to side projects and live events. How do we decide what is or isn't worth our efforts, and where do we set boundaries to prevent burnout and overwhelm?

This is ridiculous. This press is asking for "first right of refusal for adaptation rights (film, graphic novels, etc.) of the work for a period of 3 years from the signing date."

THREE YEARS.

Run, don't submit, don't sign this. Such a bad thing for writers.

What's the deal with author book events? Are they useful, do they even sell copies, and why do they all follow the same format? 👀
