    Property Rights and Publishing with Lauren Sefchik

    Lauren Sefchik is an Arizona native who avoids the sun by day, and conquers raid bosses by night. Her love for geek culture started with a video game system from the 70's, a set of polyhedral dice, and a team of heroines in sailor suits. Her first book in the Carving Legacies series is The Key of Arcandus Three mages need her. A warlock is using her.  The goddess of death is hiding her.  And Siroun's story is only the beginning.  A bookish pariah finds her world turned upside down when a nefarious outsider leaves a trail of death in his wake. As the sole survivor of the onslaught, Siroun finds herself accused of crimes she didn't commit and banished from her homeland. With nowhere to go and only one way to clear her name, Siroun's journey takes her far from comfort and into the arms of destiny. Follow Lauren on TikTok for book-related videos ​@lsefchik, and visit her website for the latest updates on her work in the world!

    Setting Goals and Keeping Them as a Writer with Katherine Michalak

    Katherine's unique approach to structuring her writing time allowed her to prosper in both high-intensity work environments and the sudden freedom of time provided by the early pandemic, and now she's sharing that method with Round Table Radio! With fifteen completed and highly polished projects ready to go by the end of this year, including work from three different genres of writing, Katherine has systematized her artistic output to an incredible degree. Katherine Michalak earned her BFA in Creative Writing at Goddard College. Her work has appeared in Shark Reef, Concho River Review, and Crestone: A Sacred Earth Journal, among others. She is a former editor for Duende and Plains Paradox. She lives in Colorado and often finds clarity for her writing projects when hiking, running, or backpacking in the West.

    Mental Health, Trauma Recovery, and the Power of Fiction with Astrid Knight

    Join Astrid Knight and Odin Halvorson as they talk about mental health and trauma recovery through the creation of fiction. Then, follow them as they dive into the world of tabletop role-playing, and its "role" in creating deep characters and character interactions.  Perception Check (The Mages of Velmyra Saga: Book One) Violet Spence wants nothing more than to have a normal life. After witnessing her childhood best friend get abducted by monsters, that’s easier said than done. At twenty-three years old, Violet cannot seem to move past that fateful night ten years ago. Her only solace is Mages of Velmyra, a tabletop roleplaying game filled with goblins, fairies, and all-powerful magicians. But of course, that’s all fantasy. Or, so she thought. As it turns out, the land of Velmyra is very real and the home of the monsters that took her best friend. For as long as she can remember, Astrid Knight has wanted to tell stories. A native to West Michigan, Astrid fostered a love of storytelling in all forms from a very young age. In 2012, she graduated from Adrian College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English-Writing and Theatre. Since then, she has been an avid writer, actress, and podcast host. She currently resides in Michigan with her husband, her dogs, Bucky and Oswin, and her pet rat, Nugget.

    Uncomfortable Truths in Theatre and Fiction with Rachel Leighson

    What is it like to develop a story through dialogue, how do you get your work on the stage, and where does inspiration itself come from? These questions and many more are explored as Odin and Rachel sit down for a deep dive into the world of writing for the stage and the page. Rachel's play, "Little Egg, Big World" premiered Off Broadway at Theatre Row on June 24th, 2022. An autofiction piece about growing up as a sperm donor child and then becoming an adult egg donor. Co-Produced with BBTF. Rachel Leighson is an actress/singer/writer hailing from Los Angeles, CA. She literally fell into performing at the age of seven when she nearly spun off stage during the tornado dance in The Wizard of Oz and never looked back. In Los Angeles, she performed with the Los Angeles Opera in Noye's Fludde, Judas Maccabaeus, and Friedl under Maestro James Conlon. She then attended Oberlin College and Conservatory and Vancouver Film School for Acting in Film and Television. Rachel has performed all over the United States (38 states and counting!) and in NYC at Carnegie Hall, Playwrights Horizons, St. Luke's Theatre, and The Actor's Temple Theatre. Her acting and writing passions center around moralistically grey women and finding the nuanced perspective in a piece or character. She believes theatre gives people a safe opportunity to explore uncomfortable truths and grow, and that is the base of everything she wants to do. Rachel is a donor child with two moms, too many cats, too many half-siblings, and too many opinions. She wouldn't have it any other wacky way.

    Research and Long-Form Narratives with Lucas Carol-Garett

    Blending research and play into the construction of epic fantasy worlds is key to success as a writer. Lucas and Odin explore the nuances of deep research work in the writing life, how to build the perfect ending, and what it's like to bring a science background to the creative writing field.  Read Lucas's short fiction in Galaxy's Edge today! Lucas studied Evolutionary Biology in his undergrad at the University of Tennessee. However, he grew up amongst the rich storytelling tradition of Appalachia and the wild tales of myth and fantasy his family enjoys, so the transition from science to writing his own grand fantasy stories might have been inevitable. His work has been published online and in print with Galaxy's Edge. When he is not writing (or scheming up stories), Lucas can be found tutoring at his local college, indulging in video games, or taking hikes through The Great Smoky Mountains.
