ISBW #119 – Are You a God? / Seth Harwood Interview

Once again we are proud to have GoTo Meeting as a sponsor this week! Get a Free 30-Day Trial!

We are also proud to be sponsored by JC Hutchins’ Personal Effects series, the podcast Sword of Blood is available free now, and the novel Personal Effects: Dark Art, launched this past week (order now!)

Note- I recorded this before I spent two weeks of hardcore writing and editing. I wrote 25,000 words in four days, and did basically nothing else. So I apologize for not getting this up until now.

EDIT- mistakenly said standard manuscript format is 10 pt Courier- I was wrong. It’s 12 pt Courier. Sorry! Thanks to people who reminded me!
