THE BINDING OF ISAAC, or: REAL MEN SELF-PUBLISH Feb 01, 2025

We kick things off talmbout marketing strategies and early reader feedback on JDO's upcoming cybergore novel Gods Fare No Better. Also: why controversy is good for sales (but only if it's not fabricated), Brandon Sanderson's "rotating crops" approach to juggling creative projects, what makes Alex Perez so annoying, and are the RFK onesies worth the price tag? We share our predictions on how the drop of Kelby's gangster neo-western Texas Tea will go, JDO explains what's inside Korean fish candy, we murder the egos of writers with prestigious publishing ambitions, and then we dive into The Binding of Isaac and what storytelling lessons can be learned from this game.

BARS (ft. David Simmons) Jan 05, 2025

It's a gold rush of bars. So much quotable wisdom here, it would take a Dave Blunts sized t-shirt to fit it all. Our boa David Simmons, favorite writer of the band Uniform, hops on about an hour and a half in to join the craft talk and marketing strategies, the state and future of all of the media industries, the value of hobbyists, addiction, what's coming up from Broken River, and basically everything in or around the world of writing (plus family). This episode is brought to you by real gangstas and also Ozempic. Keep up with the collective at brokenriverbooks.com and The Broken River Writers' Collective on Substack.
