WRITING FOR ROOKIES #8: STAR TREK author Geoffrey Thorne interview

Bulletin:

http://writingforrookies.podcastpeople.com/

In this episode, Brandon interviews Geoffrey Thorne, author of STAR TREK: TITAN – SWORD OF DAMOCLES and discusses the ways that new writers can approach science-fiction and the challenges of developing new writers of color in the publishing world.

He discusses his upbringing, what led to his interest in the sci-fi genre, and how he managed to get one of the most sought-after contracts in the publishing business: a Star Trek novel.

Geoffrey explains in great detail how he broke into the business and the process of establishing himself as a writer. He talks about dealing with rejection, the re-writing process, the headaches of dealing with editors, and what people of color can do in the business to get people to recognize their talents.

This is one of the longest, and best, Writing for Rookies episodes ever.
