Episode 115: Chris Mancini

The world is full of artists but not the specific artist you are. When it comes to creating art, Chris Mancini, an author, comedian, producer, and more, says to find what's missing and create that art. In this episode of The Written Scene, Chris talks about how crowdfunding and podcasting overlap and create supporters at the same time, getting lost in worlds unlike our own for a little needed escape, having the most fun with writing dialogue, knowing when a collaboration with other artists just clicks, the various things gained from reading a book more than once, what attracts him to new art, what's necessary to have a successful Kickstarter campaign, how marketing our art is a job itself, building an audience from scratch, why comics was the right format for his art, the messes behind the scenes that audiences don't see, and (somehow) much more.
