Brandon would like to welcome author Geoffrey Thorne (STAR TREK: TITAN – SWORD OF DAMOCLES) to Writing for Rookies as he discusses his upbringing, what led to his interest in the sci-fi genre, and how he managed to get one of the most sought-after contracts in the publishing business: a Star Trek novel.
Geoffrey explains in great detail how he broke into the business and the process of establishing himself as a writer. He talks about dealing with rejection, the re-writing process, the headaches of dealing with editors, and what people of color can do in the business to get people to recognize their talents.
His website is: http://betterangelsnovel.blogspot.com/
This is one of the longest, and best, Writing for Rookies episodes ever!

Brandon, A dynamite podcast/web site concept. I sincerely hope this sort of sharing takes off across the work/art spectrum. Unfortunately, I live in an internet, 'Twilight Zone'. And I don't mean that in a good way. It took 4 hours to download the interview only to be inexplicably booted out at the point that Geoff had finished describing his work on, "The Soft Room". I'll work it out. Just wanted to say, "Keep on truckin'." Chris Thorne (aka Geoff's dad).
