Episode 9: Dion Winton-Polak
This episode features Dion Winton-Polak, freelance editor at The Fine-Toothed Comb. We discuss the various types of edits involved in polishing up a manuscript, and why each level is important. On top of being a lovely chat with a thoroughly pleasant bloke, this episode is great for writers who want to know more about the editing process, or who are considering hiring an editor, but want to know what to look for. It’s also an interesting look behind the curtain for those curious about the publishing process.

Episode 8: Kevin J. Kennedy
This episode features Kevin J. Kennedy, a writer whose career trajectory is soaring. He started out writing short horror stories a few years ago and quickly found his work alongside some huge names in dark fiction (including Ramsey Campbell and Neil Gaiman). This episode is full of writing and publishing tips for those trying to break into horror writing - and it’s a reality check for writers like me, who need to get more work out there. If you enjoy reading dark fiction, then you’ll get a look behind the curtain and hopefully find some great anthologies filled with exciting new writers for you to follow.

Customer Reviews
I’m obsessed!
I discovered The Fiendish Minds Podcast thanks to a post from Kevin J Kennedy who shared episode eight, which he was the guest on!
Just as soon as I hit play, I was hooked.
Hosted by Jack Rollins, these conversations are so much fun to listen to! He asks awesome questions of the guests, and I love hearing all of their answers. I love that Jack also totally goes with the flow with whatever the guest wants to discuss. This results in some really awesome conversations.
I’m obsessed!
Immediately after my initial discovery, I binged the previous episodes back to back as I painted our dining room, kitchen, living room, and laundry room! Now, I jump into each new releases just as soon as they launch and I can’t wait to see what will be up next!
If you haven’t checked this one out yet, I highly recommend doing so. Of course, you’ll want to make sure to have your TBR list ready!
