Tradpub, The Pre-#IronAge And Vampire Romances With Explosions With Declan Finn And Nicky P
A little confused and embarrassed, I begin this clip by asking Declan what Tradpub is. I feel silly in retrospect. As Declan explains, it is a buzzword for traditional publishing. Four or five companies used to distribute all the big-name authors like George R.R. Martin to the Barnes & Noble level bookstores. This created a small Cabal of gatekeepers that seemed to not be choosing books based on whether they were good or not. They instead seemed to be relying more on their appeal to a particular political view or the author's classification as a member of particular gender or ideological group. I point out that this is a reasonable type of marketing until you expect it to appeal to the mass market.
It is part of the appeal of the internet age that we can each find books tailored to our interests. The possibility is part of what drew him tome the Iron Age Movement. Declan goes on to share the pre-#IronAge history before it took off as a movement. Not wanting to dwell too much on the politics, I steer the conversation back toward Declan's own writing and the ground he's covered creatively over the years. The short answer is a lot. Declan then gives us the lowdown on the many genres of some of his 30+ books. There are murder mysteries, urban fantasy, action, and horror. Sometimes they occur in separate books, and sometimes there's a vampire romance with explosions!
