Writing Excuses 7.43: Editing with James L. Sutter

From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2012/10/21/writing-excuses-7-43-tie-in-fantasy-fiction-with-james-l-sutter/

Key points: To write for Pathfinder, first write for someone else professionally. Then get in touch with james.sutter@piazo.com. Be creative, but also write excellent prose. Avoid submitting manuscripts that have not been proofread. Don't be boring. To write tie-in fiction, start by doing the research, and knowing the setting.
( A winning roll of the dice... )

[Brandon] All right. Well, I think we're out of time. I'm going to hit you up for a writing prompt.
[James] Okay. So, for a writing prompt, I really like moral ambiguity. So write a story in which all the characters are simultaneously the good guy and the bad guy.
[Brandon] Okay. And your book, again, was...
[James] Death's Heretic.
[Brandon Yep. All right. Thank you very much for being on the podcast. Thank you all for listening. You're out of excuses, now go write.
[Applause]
