This week's topics at Inside A Dog
What have we been talking about over at Inside A Dog this week?
- How the cover for Shadows came about (including an earlier draft concept – see below).
- Word changes in the UK version of Shadows (and what that means for the Butler brothers).
- A few thoughts on paranormal stories and why they resonate.
I’m really enjoying interacting with readers at Inside A Dog. Can’t believe my residency is almost half over. Next up on Monday will be a small peek into the world of line editing.
Here’s the earlier cover concept from Text Publishing’s brilliant in-house artist WH Chong. Read my post at Inside A Dog to find out the story behind it…
Don’t forget, I’ll be at Riverlink Angus & Robertson in Ipswich tomorrow, 10am-12.30pm.
Conversations at Inside A Dog
Week 1 of being writer in residence over at Inside A Dog (State Library of Victoria) was a lot of fun.
Topics covered:
- ‘New adult’ – do we need that tag Australia? (Discussing the concept of that new classification for fiction)
- Joss Whedon made me buy comics (About paranormal books becoming graphic novels and how Joss Whedon influenced my foray into the world of comics)
- Not another angel book...(About the issues faced when writing about angels).
Still plenty of time to join the conversation on any or all topics.
Next week, I’ll talk about how the Australian cover for Shadows came about (among other things).
Meanwhile, I had fun at Angus & Robertson Victoria Point this morning. Huge thanks to Stephanie, Bianca and Allison – and everyone who chatted with me/bought a copy of Shadows.
I’ll be at Angus & Robertson Riverlink (Ipswich) next Saturday 10.30am – 12.30pm.
