Warfare for Writers with Timons Esaias - #294

from The Indy Author Podcast

Matty Dalrymple talks with Timons Esaias about WARFARE FOR WRITERS, including how military history can serve as an invaluable resource for authors crafting stories that involve conflict, whether they are set in fantasy, science fiction, or historical periods. While warfare might seem intimidating to many writers, Esaias provides insights and guidance on how to incorporate elements of military history and strategy into fiction in a way that's engaging and informative.   Interview video at https://bit.ly/TIAPYTPlaylist  Show notes at https://www.theindyauthor.com/show-notes    If you find the information in this video useful, please consider supporting The Indy Author! https://www.patreon.com/theindyauthor https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mattydalrymple   Timons Esaias is a satirist, writer and poet living in Pittsburgh.
