Shaun, thanks for being flexible on my signing bonus and no-trade clause. I didn’t really want to hold out for more money like that, but this is both a business and a game. Now that the negotiations are over, I’ll tell you that what sealed the deal was your offer for the massage chair and mariachi band in the locker room.
Those were some tough negotiations.
Glad to hear Adv. in SciFi Publishing isn’t going anywhere, excited for what’s to come! Thanks for all the great podcasts, glad you’re here to say.
What a fascinating interview with James Gunn. Links to his center would be appreciated.
Links are embedded within the first paragragh. Best,
Shaun
I just finished listening to this episode, awesome interview, and also, I’ve been trying to get a hold of a good list of the Science Fiction classics, I did not know about the A Basic Science Fiction Library. Now I have a whole lot of classics to read to help me further my understanding of what’s come before me so that when I write SF I can know what’s been done. Thanks!
