Writing Excuses Season 2 Episode 11: Talking Publishing and Writing with Dave Wolverton
Dave Wolverton joins us for a third and final episode, and the Writing Excuses team pumps him for information before letting him escape. We find out why he uses two names (David Farland and Dave Wolverton), how to name characters, and why writers don't jump between genres much. Dave discusses the state of the genre-fiction publishing business, and prognosticates a bit on its future. As a special treat, Dave explains how he broke into the industry, so be the first to listen to that bit and get a leg up on everybody else with this proven (and slightly bloody) strategy. Writing Prompt: Juan and Gregorio Watanabe are in medieval England--and they belong there. Explain why.
