Scrolls Ch12, Pt 2: Alternative Avenues

from Geek Syndicate

This episode Scrolls flips over the page to see things from the other side in terms of starting out as a writer. Acting as a companion piece to the Author Interviews recorded at the SFX Weekender we've pulled together three authors who have taken non-traditional approaches to getting their fiction out into the public domain. Joining Phil and Clover in a virtual round-table discussion of their experiences, and the pros and cons of these alternative avenues are:- Barry Nugent (Shadowy Godfather of the Geek Syndicate and author of Fallen Heroes, self published through Lulu's print-on-demand service) Alex Keller (Author of pre-teen steampunk novels Haywired and Rewired, printed by small-press publisherMogzilla) and Mark Bell (Author of folk horror novel Binder of Bone, Keeper of Corn which he has published exclusively as an e-book). Here are some additional links to items mentioned in the episode that may be of interest to you: Barry's twitter and Fallen Heroes, the comic http://fallenheroescomicdotcom.wordpress.com/ Alex's twitter and website http://alexkelleruk.tumblr.com/ (although I believe a Wordpress blog is in the offing soon) Mark's blog http://sirswithinswift.blogspot.com/ Normal Service - i.e. blather, banter and bullshit about books - resumes soon in the next episode 'Life, the Multiverse and Everything.'
