What Do Authors Owe Their Readers — and Each Other?

from PLOT TWIST

Soman and Victoria debate the line between fandom and parasocial relationships, not just between authors and fans but also between authors. Plus, they try to determine when it’s time to take your artistic career “seriously” and if authors should be thinking about TV and film adaptations while writing. V has thoughts turning fanfic into original novels, and Soman wants to coach a college tennis team.Theme of the Week (02:33)Goals of the Week (13:25)Industry Nonsense (28:36) Reader Mailbag(52:34)Plot Twists in Real Life (56:48)Pup Twist (59:31)Goals of the Week is sponsored by Wordsmith Workshops.Industry Nonsense is sponsored by First Draft Pro.Additional sponsorship by The Ready State.
