SEASON 1 EPISODE 19

We chat with Ryan Schow, a new voice in the PA genre who is absolutely crushing it with his new series, The Last War. We find out how Elon Musk inspired the idea behind the series and how parenting as a theme is explored in a post-apocalyptic context. (And I thought parenting in everyday life was hard enough!) He talks about how marketing played into the creation of the series and his assessment of the result of that approach. He also reveals to us the four things he loves most in life! We go into the reality of failure and how it relates to living the best life possible. We also touch on what a strange experience high school is and how it relates to later life. All that and a fifty-five gallon drum’s worth more!

Special thanks to Ryan for joining us this week!

AND HERE IS CHRIS FOX’S BOOK ON WRITING TO MARKET THAT WE TOUCH ON A NUMBER OF TIMES AS RYAN DISCUSSES HOW IT HELPED INFORM HIS APPROACH WITH THE NEW SERIES.
