Now about the episode:

It's described as science fiction but Khan Wong's newest book The Circus Infinite, is also apace fantasy and some even call it a space opera. No matter how it's categorized the book is getting rave reviews.

Publishers and readers rely on genres to identify and group books on bookstore shelves and for marketing materials, but blurring the lines can make for a compelling story. In this episode, Wong talks about genres, his writing process draws on both outlines and in-the-moment inspiration, and how his work was pulled from the slush pile to get a publishing deal.

This is a must-listen for authors exploring genre, sci-fi, fantasy, and anyone who needs a dose of hope and inspiration to keep writing.
