Our guest today is Tim Akers, author of more than ten (often genre-blending) fantasy novels and more short stories and novellas than we wanted to count. Tim was born in deeply rural North Carolina and is the last in a long line of telephony princes, tourist attraction barons, and gruff Scottish bankers. He moved to Chicago for college and stayed to pursue his lifelong obsession with apocalyptic winters.
Author of series including the Spiritbinder Sag, the Burn Cycle Archives, and the Hallowed War books, Tim loves to write fantasy that blends elements of his favorite genres. Join us in learning about how to write a fantasy story in cyberpunk clothes.
In Part Two, We Discuss:
- “Writing the other” and respecting varied viewpoints in your writing
- Defining and determining genre
- Viewing genre as a marketing tool
- Looking at tropes as parts already explored, vs strict guardrails
- Layering genre as world/setting and pacing/plot
- Writing to market vs writing what you love
- Writing stories that last
