Episode 118: I hadn't really thought of that

What this episode covers

Hello Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today on the cast Alex sits down with returning guest Reinhardt Suarez to talk about two pieces of Magic fiction that Reinhardt wrote. Reinhardt was on the show back in episode 78 [https://goblinlorepod.podbean.com/e/episode-78-who-put-their-science-in-our-in-fiction/] to discuss what Science Fiction in the Multiverse has looked like to date, and potential future directions. Since that time Reinhardt has worked with Wizards on pieces specifically for Strixhaven!! Discussion today looks at his experiences working with Wizards while writing those two pieces, and about writing in general. As usual the goblins meander through a number of topics, including the value of editors, dealing with imposter syndrome as a writer (or creative in general) and some differences between self publishing and traditional publishing. It's a heavy craft-centric episode, we hope you enjoy it!   Reinhardt can be found at: https://www.thereinhardtexperience.com/   The stories Reinhardt wrote for Strixhaven are: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/chains-bind-2021-04-09 https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/mentor-2021-04-16 Please also check out Innocent Chizaram Ilo's story that Reinhardt talked about during the cast: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/blue-green-ribbons-2021-04-23   Lastly, if you enjoy our craft heavy episodes (and you are reading this on or before June 18th, 2021) please check out 4th Street Fantasy Convention https://4thstreetfantasy.com/2021-full-schedule/   We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co [https://twitter.com/grindincoffeeco] a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers.
