In this super-sized episode I talk with my friend and colleague, David Hopkins. He is an indie fantasy author. Over the last few years, he has built a solid author platform (sleek re-designed website with pop-ups, e-mail newsletters, Patreon, team of kick-ass collaborators, etc.) and is selling his goods as a self-published author. He is growing an expanding community of readers and fans and is set to release his largest, most ambitious project yet later this year. However, his career has been delightfully circuitous and relatable. In this first of a two-part discussion, Hopkins and I talk about his first attempt at playwriting, self-publishing, writing for comics, journalism as a uber skill and 1960s burlesque.
