"Money is a real thing." Great ep that touched on a lot of my current insecurities as an author re: career momentum. (Also, I will also die on the universal healthcare hill.)

Sunyi and Scott both discuss career momentum, cheerfully losing at the Hugos, and pushback on Reddit. And finally, they each get to give the pettiest hill they’d die on. Hint: Sunyi’s hill starts with “J” and ends in “owling”. publishingrodeo.wordpress.com/2024/10/07/s...

After submitting his debut novel to the annual SPFBO competition, Alexander Darwin landed a trad deal and agent. Alex applied his self-pub experience and many different methods to boost his trad re-launch, sharing what worked and what didn't. 1/2 publishingrodeo.wordpress.com/2024/04/20/s...
