This week, Laura got mad enough at Erik’s approach to his creative life that she’s devoting an episode to psychoanalyzing him and his writing practices. What could go wrong!

This piece from @tajjaisen.bsky.social is really good. Very sharply articulates some things we've tried to talk about in a less focused way on the show a few times. Worth a read

What is up with all the recent tradpub books that are blatant fanfiction (marketing that references the original IP, actual celebrity faces on covers, etc.) and what does that mean for authors pitching original stories?

to be clear I disagree but not in a way that invalidates what OP is saying, I think that's an interesting read of things. I just have a slightly different read. excited to get into it

We joke all the time about how we wish GRRM would finish the series. That is very different than saying to his face that he's gonna die soon and he better hurry up, or acting like he owes it to anyone. He doesn't!

genuinely can't believe that this is like half the replies! People really think he owes them the book, or anything at all, and that it's fine to berate him about it is so insane. What in the world

Highly recommend this episode for any querying authors.

As my own journey through the query mines comes to a close, the one thing I will miss most is the free soap opera that is the comments section of querytracker agent profiles. 🫠

in fact most of the show could be seen as me having various meltdowns about annoying hobbyhorses of mine, and somehow that never factors in lol

A very funny thing that has happened over and over again since starting @printrunpodcast.bsky.social is that even though Erik goes on way more rants than me, I’m the one who repeatedly gets called a screeching harpy
