The Three Hoarsemen (Episode 26) – Spelunking the Sub-Genres with Joe Monti of Saga Press
As harvest-time descends and pumpkin-spice stormclouds gather on the horizon, John E. O. Stevens, Fred Kiesche and Jeff Patterson wrap up their Summer sojourn through the labyrinthine innards of the publishing industry with Joe Monti of Saga Press. Joe educates the Hoarsemen on the pitfalls of book buying-and-selling, forecasts the future of space opera, and ponders if Grimdark is really a thing.
After a chat on trends and tribulations, the discusion turns to culture consumed.

Great episode, guys.
I really like this run of “industry pros” you’ve been teaming up, really good conversation. And I do agree with Joe about Grimdark.
Thanks, Paul. We’ve been fortunate that Fred knows everybody :-).
