Part Two: Patrick Chiles: Writing the Future

from Art In Your Heart Hosted by Shawn Maus

Shawn Maus talks with author Patrick Chiles about the work behind writing believable near-future science fiction. Patrick digs into how he outlines, organizes research, develops characters, and balances technical accuracy with story. He also talks about the practical side of the writing life — holding a full-time job, building relationships in the science-fiction world, navigating publishing, and trying to get noticed in a crowded market. The conversation also looks ahead to private space flight, emerging technology, future story ideas, and the possibility of adapting science-fiction novels for film or television. Part Two of a two-part conversation with Patrick Chiles. Originally recorded for Art In Your Heart.
