Cleve Sylcox on writing 40-plus books
from Citywide Blackout · host citywideblackout
To say that Cleve Sylcox is an experienced writer is putting it mildly. Over the years, he’s penned 42 books, ranging from poetry to science fiction to mystery thrillers, and will soon release “The Weight of Nothing,” a collection of short stories on the topic of, well…nothingness. In this episode, Cleve and I talk about how he got his start as a writer and his early years learning the craft and the people who helped him. He goes into the story behind the story of “The Weight of Nothing” and the many tales contained within. We also talk a little business, and Cleve talks about the realities of making writing into a paying career and some ways to make it happen. He shares some tips on promotion and what keeps him going after all these years. Want to learn more? Visit www.clevesbooks.org for much more, and big thanks to Jeff Royds for making this happen!
