This week's session of The Episodic is a catch-up on Writing, Publishing & Authorship, with a look at where the work is headed next.
It opens with an update on the Relics anthology [paid link] and what's coming for it, followed by a quick rundown of recent podcast releases.
From there, the conversation turns to the state of independent publishing: the limits platforms place on authors, whether serialization still holds up in today's market, and what that means for anthologies. It also touches on the next Film3 workshop and how filmmaking and writing overlap.
The second half moves into craft. It looks at how performing a manuscript aloud changes the way a writer hears it, and how audiobooks shape the way fiction gets written.
It closes on the question of balance: how to keep writing, audio and film moving together, and how to make work audiences want to join.
