    What the Big 5 Don’t Tell You ft. Jeremy Szal

    A contract with one of the five big publishing companies means placement in bookstores and libraries, reviews in major publications, award nominations, and a huge advance—even a chance to get on the bestsellers list.

Show Notes:Jeremy’s websiteFollow him on:BlueskyInstagramTikTok“Everything is random in publishing. Success is random. Bestsellers are random. So that is why we are the Random House!” Are there more libraries or McDonald’s?Author (and professional chef) Rohan O’Duill trying out one of the recipes from the Sad Bastard Cookbook Continue the conversation on the Wizards & Spaceships Discord or on Facebook!

    Postcolonialism in SFFH, ft. Suzan Palumbo

    The famous introduction to Star Trek lays out the mission of the Starship Enterprise:  to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before! Later on, they changed it to be more inclusive—where no one has gone before. But the fundamental problem remains—if no one has gone there, what exactly are all those new civilizations? Could science fiction and fantasy have a colonialism problem? With us to discuss this thorny issue and the sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers challenging Eurocentric assumptions is Suzan Palumbo, author of Countess and co-founder of the Ignyte Awards.
