331: Writing and Indie Publishing a Steampunk Novel— Interview with Meg LaTorre

Hey there word nerds! Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Meg LaTorre. Meg is a sci-fi/fantasy author, YouTube darling, and founder of iWriterly. She is also the creator of the free query critique platform, Query Hack, co-host of the Publishable show, and blogger for websites: Writer's Digest, Savvy Authors, Writers Helping Writers, and so forth. Formerly, she worked at a literary agency, and she has a background in magazine publishing, medical and technical writing, as well as journalism. For more information about Meg, subscribe to her YouTube channel or follow her on social media. You'll find all her links on the show notes page. Today we'll be talking about her latest book, The Cyborg Tinkerer. In this episode Meg and I discuss: How having a rebellious nature allowed her to write the kind of Steampunk novel she wanted to read. What aesthetic elements of the novel help portray issues of "otherness" and discrimination which are integral parts of the narrative. Why she chose the indie publishing route and how other authors can learn from her experience. Plus, their #1 tip for writers. For more info and show notes: diymfa.com/331
