More positive press for Telltale Weekly, courtesy of John Joseph Adams and this month's Locus the longrunning industry "Magazine of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Field." Adams reviews a few of Telltale's SF selections in the first installment of his new quarterly audiobook review column. (See a link to John's own journal/blog on the right).So to recap: it's been several years since I've been seriously submitting my fiction, essays, and poetry for publication and I didn't exactly have breakthrough success prior to my dayjob-sponsored "hiatus." In the SF genre, I don't even qualify for SFWA yet. But in the past six months, all due to this audiobook project I started, I've been interviewed on public radio and in The New York Times, and now I'm getting good press in Locus. Starting to feel guilty, like I've gotten away with something. I do feel stellar about how well Telltale is being received, but I also feel as I do when I have a string of successes with my acting or software projects: that I'm getting a lot of acknowledgment for what I view as sideline activities. It's humbling to remember that, as great as all this press is, putting it in a cover letter isn't likely to get me past the first reader at most publications. Well, maybe at Fantasy & Science Fiction where JJA is an editorial assistant. But more important than networking, my next big project (after finishing up the server move, and hopefully before our actual move) is to get a handle on past submissions, on unpublished works I still feel are submission-worthy (or only need a bit more revision to get there), and on target markets for those works. Let's see if I can't get in The Times, on the radio, and in Locus again within the decade. Filed under Audio Projects, Journal, Prose and Poetry
