This week, just following the publication of her major short story collection How the World Became Quiet, we are joined by Nebula Award and SFWA Vice President Rachel Swirsky to discuss writing short stories, the business of science fiction and much more.
As always, we would like to thank Rachel for joining us, and hope you enjoy the podcast!
After a long sequence of discussions with wonderful guests, it’s just Gary and Jonathan alone in the Waldorf Room once more. This week, after a brief chat about the forthcoming World Fantasy Convention in Brighton, their attention turns to how literary canons are formed, the potential toxicity of the canon forming concept and other matters. No books were sold in the making of this podcast.
With WorldCon a dwindling memory, Jonathan and Gary are joined by passionate, articulate and always fun to talk to special guest Printz, Hugo, Nebula, Campbell and Sturgeon award-winning writer Paolo Bacigalupi and discuss his brand new middle-grade novel Zombie Baseball Beatdown, exciting news about his second adult SF novel The Water Knife, new YA novel The Doubt Factory, and much more.
At the recent San Antonio WorldCon, Gary was joined by special guest co-host Kij Johnson and award-winning author John Kessel (both long time friends of the podcast) to discuss the works of the late, great Alfred Bester.
Our sincere thanks to both Kij and John. As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast!
About a month ago Ellen Klages and Andy Duncan were kind enough to appear as guests on the Coode Street Podcast. We had a lively and engaging discussion about writing, publishing and collaborating. A significant portion of the discussion centered around the publication of their forthcoming Tor.com novella, “Wakulla Springs“.
Well, the story is set to be published in early October, but you can pre-order the ebook now (for $1.99).
Tor.com has been doing an incredible job with the artwork it’s provided for their short fiction, and the art for “Wakulla Springs” is no exception. My hat’s off to Irene Gallo. My only regret with this one is that there isn’t going to be a print version of what looks to be a truly lovely package.
