S3E34 - Chatting With Adam Christopher

In this episode I chat with Adam Christopher about fanfic, discipline and making a career out of writing both original fiction and stories in existing universes. Adam tells me how he got into writing partly through his love of Doctor Who, and a fandom full of novelisations. He shares his initial overconfidence and how he worked through setbacks to forge a career writing in various universes, such as Star Wars, Elementary and most recently Stranger Things. He explains the process of pitching and negotiating with the creators of a show, the differences between writing original work and licensed novels, and how he uses routines to keep going and get his work done. This is a great episode to listen to if you want to know: - how can I write novelisations of existing TV shows, films or video games? - what's the process for pitching and writing a licensed novel? - how can I keep writing on bad days? - how can I plan my novel and still be creative? Adam Christopher's latest book is an official Stranger Things novel, DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN: https://wordery.com/stranger-things-darkness-on-the-edge-of-town-adam-christopher-9781780899985#oid=1908_1 His website is: http://www.adamchristopher.co.uk/ If you'd like to support me, it'd be ace if you picked up a copy of my novels, THE HONOURS, & the new sequel THE ICE HOUSE.
