Prepare to Advance · 154

from Authortunities Hosted by Angela Yuriko Smith

This week on Reading Space & Time, Angela Yuriko Smith and Ryan Aussie Smith step away from the usual story and poetry discussions for a behind-the-scenes look at what’s growing in the Authortunities community. We share early plans for Authortunities Academy with Brad C. Hodson, discuss how workshops can support both writers and instructors, and reveal the idea behind the Linzner Awards: beautiful hardcover books that double as personalized literary trophies. Also on the agenda: September’s delayed issue, Angela’s return to digital collage for cover art, and a forthcoming giveaway of The Day He Discovered the Color of Rain by Stephen Scheuerman. Along the way, we talk about the realities of running a magazine, parting with treasured books, and what happens when a short-story writer edits her husband’s sprawling fantasy novel. Join us for community news, creative possibilities, and a few affectionate disagreements about how many words a story really needs. That’s all for Episode 21. We will be back next Monday at 2:30 pm EST. Until then, thank you for Reading Space & Time. This is a public episode.
