Death Of 1000 Cuts

Death Of 1000 Cuts - Season 2 Episode 24 - Chatting With Gareth L Powell

01 Jul 2018

Description

In this episode I chat to SF author Gareth L Powell about his pistol-toting flying ace monkey, ACK-ACK MACAQUE, writing sentient spaceships, winning awards and being nice on the internet. We get into his new novel, EMBERS OF WAR, and he shares his best writing tips for novice authors. This is a great episode to listen to if you want to know: - how much should I plan my story? - how do I get to know my characters? - how do I write from the perspective of unusual / non-human characters? - what's the difference between a story being absurd and funny? - what's it like winning a major award? - how can I write compelling dialogue that flows well? You can find Gareth's website here: https://www.garethlpowell.com/ Here's his Patreon page where you can support him and get all sorts of goodies depending on your supporter level, including feedback on your work: https://www.patreon.com/GarethLPowell Here's his Twitter: https://twitter.com/garethlpowell?lang=en What's that?
