I’m on a podcast! As a guest! What a first!
Back in 2019 when the world made a bit more sense, I became acquainted with Vickie Lan through a Twitter pitch event. Vickie is an OwnVoices sci-fi fantasy writer who also blogs about her experiences as a Vietnamese-American. Since then, we’ve talked over our various WIPs and their struggles. We’ve also both signed with literary agents and are working hard at getting our books picked up by publishers (and by working hard I mean waiting very patiently). It was actually Vickie who recommended I hire the fantastic editor Leslie Hinson to bump my book into shape.
Vickie recently started a new podcast called Speculative Sandbox where she discusses speculative fiction prompts with a fellow writer. In this case, that writer is yours truly! In this episode, dubbed “Am I The Drama? Problematic Protagonists,” Vickie and I discuss different types of protagonists: our favorites, the ones who are clearly villains, the ones who are more nuanced, and what kind of protagonists does modern society gravitate toward? I hope you give it a listen and that you’ll check out more episodes of Speculative Sandbox!
