The One-Drink Book Club is an informal, (almost) weekly series in which fellow author Emma Lee Jayne joins me and our other creative friends to talk about the life, business, and art of writing and making books … for the duration of one Friday-afternoon drink.
In this episode, we talked about:
The “Artisan Author” approach, which I’ll be giving a presentation on in Las Vegas in November, and the spectrum between Artisanship and algorithmic thinking … a “quality or quantity first” dichotomy for authors.
True Fans, and what makes them True Fans
Creating communities of like-minded people through fandom, and how we signal that we’re part of those communities in the wild: an almost invisible way of forming connections.
How we make connections by being human and breaking our own rules.
I could list all of the sub-details, but there’s really no point. This one got philosophical at the same time as it was dropping all sorts of knowledge bombs. We certainly don’t know everything … but personally, *I* plan to listen back to this the next time *I’m* feeling angst, or when I need advice for my kids with their own existential angst.
