Hello, Protagonists!
My podcast guest today is TJ Klune. He is the New York Times bestselling author of The House in the Cerulean Sea and its upcoming sequel, Somewhere Beyond the Sea. He is also a Lambda Literary Award winner and a queer advocate, who fiercely believes in writing the stories for his community that he didn't have growing up.
Today we talk about:
what makes a breakout hit novel?
why he prefers writing standalone rather than series,
the importance of reader word-of-mouth in helping a book succeed,
how much time writers should spend reading,
and TJ's important advice for finding and maintaining creative fulfillment.
Enjoy the show!
