I have just finished the wonderful “Chasing the Bard” podcast novel by Pip Ballantine, so was thrilled to interview her for today’s podcast. [This was a two-part interview with Pip and Tee Morris, podcasted last week.]
Pip is an award-winning New Zealand author and podcaster. Her books include “Chasing the Bard“, “Digital Magic” and “Weather Child“.
In this podcast you will learn:
- How Pip started in writing and then how she got a 2 book deal with Ace publishing in New York after 12 years of writing
- Why writers need to have a “tough skin” and separate the writer from the clerk if they want to get published
- Why it’s not just about being published – writing and creation are important
- How Pip won the Sir Julius Vogel Award, the New Zealand Hugo for “Chasing the Bard” podcast
- How being in New Zealand affects a writing career
- Having an accent can help your podcasting voice talent career
- How the Double Trouble promo got Pip and Tee into the Amazon bestseller lists
- Tips for authors who want to podcast
- How long podcast episodes can take to create, and why you would want to spend the effort to do it
- Why the podcasting crowd is so much fun! and why working together is such a great idea
- Chasing the Bard is now an iPhone app – another way to reach your audience
- Writing the all-important sex scene! (Erotica a la Carte )
You can find Pip and her books at her main website, or on Twitter.
