Devoted to publishing, publishers and to those who craft the written word

Do you like comics? Do you like novels? Do you like pulp fiction? If you don't, you better learn how to like them--we love that stuff. 

Two years ago, I hung with novelist Paul Malmont at a comics book store. We discussed his novel, The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril and the comics of Warren Ellis and Planetary and Rocketship Comics and Doc Savage and The Shadow and lots and lots of writing advice.

He taught us lots of things, via the magic of web video...

First, he compared Pulps vs. Blogs

Then he taught about Researching Historical Characters

After that, a crash course on Writing About Pulp Fiction Landmarks

Then, the all-important goal for any writer: Finding the Stories You Loved as a Kid

And finally, How To Write a Novel with a Baby and a Full-Time Job

I revived that old interview because I'm on vacation this week, and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

To keep you happy while I travel far, far, far from the city, I'm posting some of my favorite traveling writer interviews I've collected at The Publishing Spot--building a complete interview library in the process.
