Write The Fight Right
“The best way for a writer to learn what’s really involved in brawling, short of going down the pub and starting something.”
Episode18 of the podcast I host with David Wood is now up. In this episode we talk about what it takes to get noticed as a writer. We discuss short fiction as a means of promotion as well as a means of creativity in itself. We talk about the difference between having a large body of work and a large online presence. Whether one or the other is better and so on. Go and have a listen, share it with your friends and anyone else you think might like it and feel free to comment or email.

Welcome to the website of author Alan Baxter.
I write dark fantasy, sci fi and horror, ride a motorcycle and love my dog. I also teach Kung Fu, hence the Warrior Scribe tag above. A friend once referred to me that way and I liked it, so it stuck. Learn all about me and my work by clicking About Alan just below the header.
Our world is built on language and storytelling. Without stories, we are nothing.

Just listened to this… great advice. Can you announce that short story sale yet?
I think that one was the inclusion of my story “The King’s Accord” in Ticonderoga’s Year’s Best Fantasy & Horror.
Woot woot! Congratulations! Another validation, another buck in the pocket. (I hope it’s all going towards retirement!)
All going towards writing for a living first. I don’t want to ever retire.
