Hi All

I’ve had a blast this year speaking to some amazing authors. I had a great conversation with Peter F Hamilton for episode 63, and I am very excited to be telling you about my next guest.

She has only been on the literary scene for a short time but she has already made an incredible impact not just in Sci-Fi and fantasy genre, but also in mainstream publishing. I’m proud to say that my next guest will be Becky Chambers, author of the critically acclaimed novel: The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet. Our interview will be the next episode - number 66.

Becky’s novel was shortlisted for the Kitschies in the debut category in 2014, longlisted for the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction in 2016, and it has just been shortlisted for the Arthur C Clarke prize.

Becky knows what it is to self-publish and she also knows what it is to be commercially published, since her self-published novel was picked up in 2015 by Hodder and Stoughton. In the interview she shares her experiences and advice on the craft and the publishing process.

Thanks
Andy
