If memory serves, I’ve known Craig DiLouie since 2008, and he immediately struck me as an artist with a gravitic commitment to the craft, business, and community of writers. I saw him giving a book trailer-making workshop at the World Fantasy Convention, held that year in Calgary, and right after that I checked his amazing videos, and later devoured his gripping, terrifying zombie novel The Infection.
DiLouie is the author of a whopping eighteen novels including One of Us, the Crash Dive series, Suffer the Children, and The Great Planet Robbery. His books cross numerous genres including horror, apocalypse, zombie, science fiction, fantasy, historical, and military fiction; his work has been translated into multiple languages and been nominated for major awards including the Bram Stoker and the Audie. Because he’s such a heavy-hitter, I always enjoying learn from him about artistic and career development.
So on October 18, 2018, DiLouie spoke with me by web video from his home in Calgary. We discussed:
- The connection between horror and comedy
- What Stephen King teaches about what it takes to be a great writer
- Why, despite his early literary success, DiLouie experienced major pressure to perform following the publication of his novel Suffer the Children
- Why authors should attend conventions
- How and why to writes series
- What software you should be using to maximise your sales
- The one thing he wishes the fans of his books in separate genres would do, and the most important thing an author must do to sell more books
