The Three Hoarsemen (Episode 31) – Down on the Collaboration Farm with Joelle Presby and David Weber – Part One

Posted on February 24, 2016 by Jeff Patterson in The Three Hoarsemen // 2 Comments

As February wraps up, John E. O. Stevens, Fred Kiesche and Jeff Patterson convene with Joelle Presby and David Weber to talk about the collaboration process on their new book The Road to Hell. The talk was substantive enough to necessitate splitting it across two episodes.

Part one of the discussion includes the challenges of stepping into an existing franchise, playing in another author’s sandbox, the difference between art vs. craft, editorial hindsight, working with Jim Baen, and meeting Andre Norton.

Run time: 1 hour 23 minutes.
