ISBW #181- TV, Nathan Lowell Interview

I realized Nate Lowell had nearly hit the 1 million word mark, and wanted to get him on the show to talk about what he’s learned in that time, not to mention the fact that he killed podiobooks.com, and that’s just impressive. We also introduce a new column, Chris Miller’s Bootstrap Chronicles!

The fund drive! Let’s talk details-

Edits below- I have changed some of the rules for your benefit! This is not a lottery, this is a giveaway based on a donation, so the only “chance” based gift is a manuscript critique by me (and that requires no donation, just a blog post). I have books from Pyr, Tor, Doubleday, Solaris, and more publishers to give away, but none of these publishers have endorsed or are connected to this fund drive.

• Blog/spread the word about ISBW, or donate any amount, and enter into a drawing for a manuscript critique by Mur!
• Donate $10 or more for a book from Mur’s stack! *
• Donate $25 or more for a book from Mur’s stack and a blank book from Mur’s own stash! *
• Donate $50 or more for a book from Mur’s stack * and a blank book from Mur’s own stash *, and an ISBW tshirt!

* As long as supplies last. 7/14 – Blank books are gone!
