NEWS

The Write Stuff:

What’s new in publishing? This is really new! The Write Stuff is a reality publishing-deal contest for ABC. Arlene Radasky, our own Podiobooks.com author of The Fox, recorded a video promo for the series. Siglar, who has his hands in everything, will be a guest judge for the first season of The Write Stuff.
“The Write Stuff will show the blood, sweat and tears required to make it in the publishing industry. Pure talent isn’t enough — viewers will get a glimpse at the discipline, mental toughness, thick skin and the old-school worth ethic required just to break into the business.” — Scott Sigler, New York Times Bestselling author of INFECTED.  

Thanks to Mark Eller of Mercy Bend for giving us the scoop on this story, and we look forward to interviewing him in the future when he goes live on Podiobooks.com.
