Shining Moon Episode 02: Reading and the Working Writer

Shining Moon: A Speculative Fiction Podcast

Hello, and welcome to Shining Moon: A Speculative Fiction Podcast, Episode 2. Today we’ll continue our series by asking a question not about genre or craft, but about how to keep reading, when you’re a working writer. We’ll discuss the impact working as a writer has on our reading time, choices, and pleasure, and we’ll discuss several stories we all read together. My guests today are Chloe Smith and Brian Hugenbruch.
Stories discussed: "A Long Spoon," Jonathan E. Howard, https://www.amazon.com/Long-Spoon-Tor-Com-Original-Johannes-ebook/dp/B00N6LRIHS
“Give us the Swords” by Carlie St. George, https://kaleidotrope.net/archives/spring-2023/give-us-the-swords-by-carlie-st-george/
