About this listen

 For the holiday season, Avery and Christie offer the gift of more James Van Pelt. This is the rest of our chat with the award-winning Grand Valley science fiction author. In this half of the interview, James - Jim to his friends - shares his thoughts on the two types of books-about-writing, his early days of writing poetry to get girls, how to accept literary rejection, and that tingly feeling you get when your story is being workshopped. We also talk about the changing self-publishing industry, why it’s not okay to kill the dog (or grandma) in a story, and how science fiction itself has changed since he was young.  If you need to hear part one of this interview, scroll down and listen to Episode 1.
