I'm working on a trilogy right now and I really needed a video like this! I too believed the myth that querying with a series is a bad, bad idea so it's good to hear that isn't the case. Maybe I'll put that novella on the backburner. Thanks Stephen!

Happy for you Stephen! Amazing hardback! So sad I can't buy hardback of The Coward and The Warrior anymore. I would pass them on to my children in the future - so much did I like them. But it is what it is.

Yeah, they all sold out sadly. People do resell them on ebay of course, but the price is always going up and up!

fun conversation from the start XD "I live just down the street" "They don't know that!" . I enjoyed listening to the two of you chat also, i finished reading The Judas Blossom, the end was a bit sudden but I loved it and being i tend to struggle with multiple POV, some content stuff, and can have a short attention span that doesn't always hold through people's world-building, you did an amazing job! Things that often would at least slow a read for me weren't a problem at all and worked great because of how well you wrote it ^.^

Animorphs represent! As a teenager in the early 00's I also relied on a WH Smith for my fiction. It was Lord of the Rings, Discworld, Harry Potter or Animorphs, and that's your lot.

I enjoyed seeing your respective takes on this series, which I consider a masterpiece of Fantasy. I know George RR Martin, Brandon Sanderson, Brian Lee Durfee, Neil Gaiman, Patrick Rothfuss, and Christopher Paolini have also heaped praise on MS&T. Krystle's take on Simon's excruciating long time in the tunnels "...and then we discover it's only been a couple of hours") was priceless! X)

Your formative reading mirrors a lot of my own - Brooks, Eddings, etc - but it was Donaldson’s “Lord Foul’s Bane” that was a bit too advanced for me at the time and I had to return it to my mother’s bookshelf. That is a very long lasting memory, when I struggle to recall my early reading journey.

Do you conduct interviews with authors from Asia and other regions? It would be really interesting to watch interviews with successful webnovel authors, gaining insights from their perspectives.
@StephenAryan44 Ай бұрын
If they've written SFF novels in English, or have been translated into English, then I might do in the future. But I always pick people I want to chat to for my channel so don't take publisher requests as I've been approached several times.

I just randomly came across this video. Could someone fill me in on what a query package is?
@StephenAryan44 Ай бұрын
When you are trying to get a literary agent and then get traditionally published, you send an agent a sample of the book. This is called a query package. It's a letter with a few chapters from the start. If they like what they read, they ask for the whole book.

I fell into the Broken Binding collecting hole last spring and am now a subscriber, too. And The Judas Blossom is among the books I added to my collection. Really beautiful edition. I am hoping to add the next one to the collection, too, one day. Broken Binding is just getting better all the time. I can only imagine how good it must feel to have your own book in such an edition out there in the world.

@StephenAryan44 2 ай бұрын
It was nice, as a lot of people of a certain age do have Tolkien as a foundation. But some I talk to came into fantasy later, or their starting point is so very different it creates a different POV like Christopher Ruocchio whose foundation stories are not the same as that of most people.

I really enjoy these interviews. They’re so insightful, and I think you’re really quick to build an on-camera rapport with your guests! The only thing I would suggest is maybe to introduce the interviewee slightly more - even if it’s just a this is X, author of X, Y, and Z, or a little background about how you guys know each other. Love that you’re spotlighting indie authors as well!
@StephenAryan44 2 ай бұрын
I prefer that people find out who they are as we go, and who they are as people, which is why I've adopted the origin story approach. I always include links to each interviewee so people can look them up if they want more info on their books.
