Page Break Podcast Episode 23: Helene Wecker
The twenty-third episode of my new podcast Page Break is now out! In this episode, my guest is novelist Helene Wecker.
Helene is author of the best-selling and award-winning book, The Golem and the Jinni and its recent follow up The Hidden Palace. Helene and Brian are also debut buddies—their first books came out the same month in April of 2013.
Helene and Brian talk about writing classes and pursuing higher education for creative writing, the despair when a book just isn’t clicking, the loneliness of being a writer, and the way life can get in the way of a creative job.
Page Break with Brian McClellan is a collection of casual conversations between me and fellow creative professionals—like two friends sitting down over lunch to discuss career, craft, family, and hobbies.
Authorhood is a quiet sort of minor fame where the person behind the words is often obscured by the works they’ve created. I aim to use this podcast to find out more about my friends and colleagues.
Look forward to weekly conversations with creators like TV writer/producer Joseph Mallozzi, epic fantasy author Robin Hobb, science fiction author Pierce Brown, Twitch streamer Mark Hulmes, and many more!
