Welcome to Sweet Peas in a Writer Podcast, with authors Betsy Love and Theresa Sneed. Follow us on our journey of navigating the publishing world from the very beginnings of the writing process all the way through to publishing and marketing. We will be interviewing everyone and anyone, asking the questions you want answered. Every great thing has to start somewhere ~ welcome to ours!
Well, because I'm half-editor, all writer, I'd love to see podcasts on the "joys" of editing, or the author/editor relationship, or tips from editors for beginning writers . . . etc. :D Sounds so FUN, guys.
I'm excited, Renee to be doing this! Theresa and I make a great team. And I KNOW we're going to have LOTS of fun! I'm so glad Theresa is the brains behind this.
Ranee ~ okay, the "joys" of editing - that'll be a blast! and the editor/author relationship - another great topic! tips from editors for beginning writers :) Looks like you've given us three awesome topics! After we get the first two months together of topics/authors/editors etc., we will post the schedule for our podcast ... it's going to be GREAT!!
Perhaps how your characters are conceived, how you research for a book, where the concept of a book idea or specific scenario comes from. Your life experiences that played into your writing. Just my thoughts!
Love those ideas Lynda! Betsy and I discussed how we want to keep our audience "engaged" in our discussions and how we know that part of that is keeping our podcasts short 15-20 minutes ... we'll decide which length and keep it consistent at that length. That way our listeners know just how much time they have to "invest" out of their busy days to listen to us. Ideally, we'll record a podcast weekly. I love your ideas and each one could easily fill a 15 minute spot. 1. How characters are conceived (Betsy's super great at that!) 2. How to do research for a book (Very interesting topic! I have lots of techniques that I use!) 3. Where book ideas/scenarios come from 4. How life experiences play into our writings (another favorite of mine! See http://theresatalks.blogspot.com to read why I actually write about angels!) Thanks Lynda! ~Theresa
It takes a little time to set it up and we want to have a successful launch ... we'll be broadcasting (podcasting) every Wednesday starting April 4th and every third Wednesday @ 5:00 PM it will be live via skypes ... stay tuned!
Yes, give all the information you can. I've never been part of a podcast before. I don't know how it works, but want to know. I'll announce it at our chapter meeting.
Thanks for your support Susan! We'll keep you posted ... we've already got three guest speakers for out live podcasts in April, May, and sometime in the fall. (Linda Mulleneaux, editor at Walnut Springs, Marsha Ward founder of ANWA, and Lisa Mangum editor at Deseret Book...)
You guys are a juggernaut! You lot in the front, GET OUT OF THE WAY or Betesa (or is it Thertsy?) will flatten you! So are you going to have guests talk about their books here too? If so, sign me up...:o)
Hi Susan, I just added a "follow by email." That way you'll get alerts right to your email address when posts happen and when upcoming events are coming out.
I'm over!

Theresa is the master of research. I do it *gruuuummmmbbbbllleeee* because I have to. But I'd rather just write the story.
ReplyDeleteWhy wait until April 4th? Do it NOW!!!!
