Today my guest is historian Kenneth C. Davis, New York Times bestselling author of “America’s Hidden History,” “Don’t Know Much About History,” and a whole series of “Don’t Know Much About” books, proving that Americans don’t hate history — they just hate the dull version they slept through in class.

As part of his mission to get more people to read more books, Kenneth has just published THE WORLD IN BOOKS: 52 Works of Great Short Nonfiction – a curated journey through fifty-two of the most significant short nonfiction works ever penned, from ancient times to the present day.

We covered:

- A quick history of the paperback–how did I not know this??

- The amazing line a bookstore co-worker told him that changed his life

- The family roadtrips to historical places he took as a kid that made history come alive for him, and how he strives to do the same thing for others in her books

- Great, succinct reason why books matter

- The morning routine that launches him into writing each day

- A peek at what it’s like for a writer to be married to an editor

Welcome to part two of my interview with Christy Climenhage, the author of the brand new science fiction thriller The Midnight Project. “The Midnight Project” is Christy’s first novel, and focused on two friends and scientists who are muddling through a frighteningly real world on the verge of collapse. In this episode, we talked about: How writing, although it requires help from others, is something that’s yours and yours alone (unlike, say, a job or a relationship) Finding the delight in being a beginner Dealing with impostor syndrome Learning to take the next step (instead of giving up) Freeing yourself of the desire for external validation The benefits of being a debut author when you are older Debunking the idea that merit is king Enjoying others’ success Why she doesn’t have a Costco membership Connect with Christy on Bluesky @cclim.bsky.social or at christyclimenhage.com .

My guest this week is Christy Climenhage, the author of the brand new science fiction thriller “The Midnight Project,” a tale of equal parts hope and horror set in the near future where humanity and the climate are on the verge of collapse, focused on two scientists and friends who are charged with designing a new kind of human. “The Midnight Project” is Christy’s first novel, and it was amazing to talk with Christy at this moment when she’s first becoming a published novelist. We covered: Combining interests (in Christie’s case, being a news junkie and science fiction fan) What Cli-Fi is and why it’s not necessarily scary The question she asked herself that got her to finally write the novel she’d been thinking about for 10 years The schedule she created that kept her on track The rewards of a consistent schedule (even if it’s not everyday) Sending 20 queries and getting 20 rejections The joy of finding your writing community Connect with Christy on Bluesky @cclim.bsky.social or at christyclimenhage.com .

Welcome back to part three of the Finding the Throughline interview with Amy Shearn, the award-winning author of five critically-acclaimed novels, including her latest book which just came out, “Animal Instinct.” Amy has also published hundreds of essays in publications like Real Simple, “O: The Oprah Magazine”, and the “New York Times” Modern Love column and has nearly twenty years of experience editing for digital publications.

[Amy Shearn, inner stuff]: Writing to your one, true reader–and not putting stock in what your harshest critics say + doing ‘enough’ to promote your work Ep 1198 28:46

19 روز پیش28:46

28:46

Amy Shearn, award-winning author of five novels. Her latest book, “Animal Instinct,” is about a 40-something newly divorced woman rediscovering her desires during the height of the COVID pandemic, and doing so both through her interactions with actual live humans and an AI chatbot she designed to compile all her favorite parts of actual live humans and none of the annoying, boring things–it’s such a fun, thoughtful read. Amy also teaches creative writing and works one on one with writers as an editor and/or book coach. In this part of our interview, I ask Amy about the squishier side of writing–the thoughts, ideas, and beliefs that shape your view and your work. We covered: - Reconciling the sensitivity and openness required to be a writer and the need to have a thick skin in order to share the work you so lovingly create - Why a three-star review is actually a sign of success - How teaching writing has helped her view her own inner critic differently - How to feel like you’ve done ‘enough’ to promote your work–even if that’s very hard to quantify - Her definition of a work’s success–that it has taken on a life of its own - The best moment of her writing life that happened just last weekend! - What she’s no longer afraid of now that she’s 45-½ - Why there is no formula for creativity Connect with Amy on Instagram @amyshearnwriters, Substack @amyshearn, or at amyshearnwriters.com .

[Amy Shearn, practical matters]: Matching your writing goals to the time you have available + keeping yourself accountable when you don't have a deadline Ep 1197 26:12

21 روز پیش26:12

26:12

This week I’m talking with Amy Shearn, the award-winning author of the critically-acclaimed novels “Dear Edna Sloane,” “Unseen City,” “The Mermaid of Brooklyn,” and “How Far Is the Ocean from Here.” Amy’s newest novel is “Animal Instinct,” which follows a 40-something newly divorced woman re-entering the dating scene and reconnecting with her desires during the social isolation of COVID lockdowns. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly called it "delightful and hilarious,” which I can co-sign–despite its pandemic backdrop, which might sound like it could be stressful, this is a book I look forward to reading each night because I know it will take my mind off my worry du jour and give me a lot to think about while also being a ton of fun. Amy has nearly twenty years experience as an editor for digital publications, has published hundreds of essays for places including New York Times’ "Modern Love" column and The Rumpus, and she currently works one-on-one with writers as an editor and writing coach. We covered: - Her really insightful take on how loving reading as a kid can lead to wanting to be a writer (I hadn’t thought of it in this way before) - The mix of calling and coercion that got her to think beyond writing novels to also penning personal essays - Making the shift to freelancing as an editor, teacher, and book coach (and away from working for a publication for her primary income source) - Matching your writing goals to the time you have available (as someone who needs to work full-time, whether as a freelancer or an employee) - How to keep yourself accountable to your writing goals when you don't have a deadline - Using a 50-50 parenting agreement post-divorce as an "every other weekend writing retreat" Connect with Amy on Instagram @amyshearnwriters, Substack @amyshearn, or at amyshearnwriters.com .

This is the final installment of my talk with Samuel Marquis, author of numerous books of history and historical fiction, including his newest, "Captain Kidd: A True Story of Treasure and Betrayal," a non-fiction look at one of the most notorious “pirates” ever, who also happens to be Samuel’s 9th great grandfather.

Welcome back to part of my interview with Samuel Marquis, author of numerous books of history and historical fiction, including his newest, "Captain Kidd: A True Story of Treasure and Betrayal." Samuel’s previous book "'Blackbeard" won the Kirkus Reviews Book of the Year Award and his articles have been published in "History Central," "Writer’s Digest," "The Lazy Historian," and "The Good Men Project," among other outlets. Today I’m talking with Samuel about what I call inner stuff–thought processes, internal dialogues, confidence–all that fun stuff! We covered: - Why villains are so fun to write (hint: it’s not because they’re evil) - Empathizing with folks who lived centuries ago and did things that we consider to be horrible today (like attending a public hanging on your wedding day, which Captain Kidd and his wife did) - His least favorite part of the writing process - Dealing with the nagging fear that you’re not accurately portraying history - Looking for historical figures who were ahead of their time (because they make great characters) - Why Captain Kidd isn’t the murderous pirate he was made out to be - Deciphering primary historical records–the handwriting, the different spellings (this was a really fun peek into the realities of writing about history) - Anchoring your research in the work of well-respected historians - How the idea that if you work hard things will come easily is a myth - Why he played competitive lacrosse until he was sixty Connect with Samuel at samuelmarquisbooks.com .
