PREVIEW – “Secrets of the Heinlein Juvenile,” by J. Daniel Sawyer

Hello, fellow writers!

Longtime friend-of-the-show J. Daniel Sawyer has written a new nonfiction book, Secrets of the Heinlein Juvenile. In it he digs into the works of Robert A. Heinlein, the granddaddy of YA science fiction, and reveals the hidden structure that turns these books into evergreen classics. Right now he’s running a Kickstarter to fund the production of the book, and he’s released this audio version of chapter 1 to give you a taste of what awaits within its pages. Check it out, and if this sounds like something you could use in your writing journey, I urge you to support the project.

Keep it on the bright side,

Chris

In this week’s episode I take some time to catch up with author and podcaster J. Daniel Sawyer. Dan’s got a bunch of interesting new fiction coming out this year, and we talk about a lot of it. Plus, because it’s me and Dan, we end up discussing the Bronze Age Collapse and geopolitics and why teenagers feel like adults are lying to them about everything…
