We kick things off with some writing and submission news. After that, we discuss a controversial topic in the reading community. We also figure out a fun way to make Goodreads reviews more legitimate. Here's a hint, it deals with users getting assigned a difficulty score based on the books they read.

Caleb starts the episode by announcing his new favorite book. After that, we talk about how 2024 treated us regarding our writing and what publications we got. We end by discussing our writing goals for 2025. You can follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook @dpwpodcast You can check out Caleb's work at www.calebjamesk.com .…

We open things off with some good publishing news! After that, we settle in for a discussion about some unexpected problems authors might encounter after getting their work accepted for publication. We also talk about getting paid as a writer and when you should stop submitting to publishers that don't pay for your work.

We begin the episode by discussing Cormac McCarthy and a specific scene in his novel Suttree that depicts a young man fornicating with watermelons. After that, we have a much longer discussion about offending publishers and your audience. We start with what big comic book creators and movie studios have been doing wrong by alienating their core audience, how that correlates with authors on a much smaller scale, and the simple fixes that can avoid many headaches. Around 40 or so minutes in we finally get to the heart of the episode by discussing a specific scene (or in this case, word choice) that might derail one of Caleb's future submissions. We talk about when you should be brave and stick to your guns, and when it's important to know when to concede and make the proper changes to a work to get it published.

We kick off the episode with some publishing news, a quick discussion about putting your previously published stories into your own collection, and what changes we think are acceptable from a publisher's editors. The actual episode begins around the 17:36 mark for those who want to jump straight to our review of Violent Advents: A Christmas Horror Anthology which features Caleb's story, Maggot Party. We digress several times in this one with one of the more interesting topics being that of contemporary authors writing in first person present tense. If you're a fan of horror anthologies, you will love this collection! You can follow us on X, Facebook, and Instagram @dpwpodcast You can check out Caleb's work at www.calebjamesk.com .…
 
We start the episode with some BAD publishing news with a good outcome. At least for us. After that, we attempt to discuss 20 of the best detective crime stories according to the good people at Forbes. Our train seems to have a bad track though, and we go off the rails every 30 seconds. Despite this, we have a great time. Also, make sure to get checked for HAUNTED BONES! It's a serious ailment.

We kick things off with some controversial Edgar Allan Poe news. Did he steal The Raven from another writer!? After that, we discuss some potentially bad publishing news, a newly found Bram Stoker book, and Caleb ends the episode by reading a scene from his story "Dead Men Don't Scream" which will be featured in Beautiful Darkness 3: A Dragon Soul Press Anthology released on October 30th.

We open the episode with more great publishing news—a trend we hope never ends! After that, we get into the episode proper with a review of L. Stephenson's new horror novella, The Boy at No. 9 Whitlock. At first it was bad parents, bullies, and budding romances. But the tragic life of young Matthew Rose is about to get much worse...because the boy who lives at No. 9 Whitlock is about to meet a demon. "One of the darkest coming-of-age horrors I've read. Grizzly and unrelenting. I wanted to look away, but I couldn't." - KEV HARRISON, Author of Shadow of the Hidden & Below "Stephenson shows that horror isn’t all about sending chills down one’s spine; sometimes, it can be about moving the heart." - REBECCA ROWLAND, Shirley Jackson Award-nominated Author of White Trash & Recycled Nightmares You can purchase the novella now on Amazon . You can follow L. Stephenson on Instagram @l._stephenson…
