Paul Toth & Science Fiction Ideas Apr 23, 2018

Paul Toth’s interest in science fiction may have started in an extremely remote town in Alaska where fantasy role playing helped add to the variety of life. But through moves to San Francisco and Boise and now Omaha, Paul has kept up his interest in science fiction and today he is shopping his first book. On the podcast, Paul talks a bit about a recent guest post on the RMFW blog about where science fiction ideas come from. He also tells us about that first book, which involves a rogue planet and an unusual zoo, and he talks about pitching his book as one of hundreds of other writers at Writer’s Digest Pitch Slam. Paul Toth is a technologist by day, sci-fi author by night, and full-time seeker of truth and the perfect pizza. After attending numerous writing conferences, including Writer’s Digest, Muse, and the San Francisco Writers Conference, he’s more than a little certain that RMFW’s yearly conference, that would be Colorado Gold, is the one to beat.
