#210 - Fandom, The Evolution of Geek Culture, and Building an Online Author Community with Sam Maggs

Bestselling author Sam Maggs joins us on the podcast this week. Sam has written both fiction and nonfiction books, as well as comics, graphic novels, and video games, and talks to us about how she tackles writing across a variety of mediums, and the difference between writing original works and pitching to write for an already established IP.
