I have seen Locus here in a shop occasionally, it costs more than a novel, so not worth buying when I look at it like that.
The online indexes etc. are cool, no doubt, as far as bibliography etc., goes.
CDs of those get sold I think, but not the mag?
So speaking of appealing to the young, still stuck in the old-fashioned model for the magazine part of it.
Shaun,
It’s good to hear that you got through the fires unscathed.
Thanks again for another great episode. I’m a big fan of the first Runelord series, and I loved Elantris–so this really hit the spot.
shaun and Sam,
i havent heard the episode yet, but i wanted to say i was thinking of both of you these past few days and wondering.
take care and my prayers are with you all out there.
I look at Locus as a great investment. Not only do they help me decide what books are worth reading, but I’ve learned a great deal about the genre and about publishing thanks to them. I also love the critical pieces they have about writers. The recent articles about Robert Heinlien and Ray Bradbury were outstanding.
Thanks Christopher and Raul. I appreciate the well wishes about our safety. The fires have moved far east, but they’ll continue to burn into next week.
Yeah Josh, Larry, and Eric. Congrats on winning.
Also glad Shaun and Sam made it through the fires.
