Welcome back to Talk Fiction, a podcast dedicated to entertainment media’s most overlooked underdogs: Fiction writers.
In this episode, yours truly, Meg Oolders, talks with fellow multitude, Ben Wakeman, about avoiding the rut of niche-ness, embracing AI (for what it is), fostering empathy (for the betterment of humanity), and returning to the workforce after a full (but fleeting) creative immersion.
If you haven’t discovered Ben’s work, I can’t recommend it enough.
Explore his serialized novels: The Memory of My Shadow and Harmony House. The first two chapters of each are free to read!
I’m here, too. 💜
Read my award-winning novel, See Dot Smile, FOR FREE!!!
And take a stroll through the Same Walk, Different Shoes library, where the work of many of the authors mentioned in this episode is featured.
I love to hear from listeners, so please stop by the comments if you get around to giving this episode a go.
