Dan Sawyer – consummate storyteller, media producer, and creative visionary – was our first Guest Host. One year ago, nervous and uncertain, Brion and I interviewed Dan and launched a podcast, starting a journey that has led to so many discoveries, friendships, and opportunities to explore the creative process. Dan is the ideal catalyst for such a journey, given his diverse and extensive experience in the art of expression. During this celebratory 20(ish) minutes of conversation, we delve a bit deeper into Dan’s writing process, discuss the pros and cons of genre-jumping, uncover some strategies to keep your audience guessing, and more. (and the quest for Literary Gold continues during Dan’s Workshop Episode!)

From the shadowed desk of Dan Sawyer…
- Dan’s Website is an excellent place to start (and almost guaranteed to result in a couple hours of lost time… there’s some incredible content up there)
- Then of course, you can stalk him on Twitter
- Then there are SO many marvelous texts, like “Throwing Lead: A Writer’s Guide to Firearms (and the People Who Use Them)” or “Making Tracks: A Writer’s Guide to Audiobooks (and How to Produce Them)“
- And then there’s all the literary delights Dan has shared with the world (with more to come)
Hey guys congrats on the Anniversary. I hope you keep bringen that special breed of epicosity to the web for us all to enjoy.
Thanks Ben! We’ll do our best (and “epicosity” is my new favorite word). 😉
Congrats on your anniversary! So much literary gold. I have learned so much since starting to listen to your program.
Aw, Alisa… thanks so much! We’ve been right there with you. I’ll tell ya, if you want to learn about something, launch a podcast about it. 😉
