Holy Worlds' Podcast 4: Networking and Building a Platform w/ Robert Treskillard
* Update to Priest's Graveyard Giveaway: The giveaway is ended.
Robert shares some great ideas on marketing and studying the Christian Speculative Fiction market. A few of his ideas to market his book are an encoded puzzle into the digital copy that will send the reader on a treasure hunt to find prizes, as well as a 3D game to explore his world. We then asked Robert to share his experience with other Christian authors, either through reading their works or in person. He gave us a look into his favorite books and what makes them special as well as his experience getting to know these authors. This episode gives Christians a list of books and authors to check out, as well as a writing conference to go to and some tips on building your own writer's platform.
Here are some links to authors mentioned:
Andrew Peterson: On The Edge of The Dark Sea of Darkness; North or Be Eaten (Christy Award Winner)
