Podcasts
Rock, Paper, Write
We dive into the inspiration behind her novel, the unique world-building that blends Renaissance aesthetics with fantasy, and the dynamic relationship between her protagonists. Erin also shares insights from her 20-year career as an editor and book coach, offering invaluable advice for aspiring authors—especially those juggling writing with family life.
Wish I'd Known Then . . . For Writers
Having trouble getting words on the page? Erin P.T. Canning has strategies to help! We delve into how to let go of perfectionism and give yourself permission to write a “bad” first draft. Erin also shares how writing helped her with depression. She also talks about why it's important to look backward as well as plan for the future, how to make time to write as a busy mom, and how she mentally drafts and revises before writing.
The Books and Authors Fantasy and Sci-Fi Podcast
Co-hosted by Jamie Davis and Scott Walker, this podcast is exactly what the title says it is: a show focused on SF&F books and the authors creating them! We’ll cover Epic Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Sword & Sorcery, and everything in between. Expect to find the best and brightest authors from all corners of the SF&F book world. Plus, we’ll add in a few other very special guests as well along the way.
Just Joshing Episode 1024: Erin P.T. Canning
We talk about all kinds of things. We talk about authenticity and perfectionism. We talk about Erin's journey in her author career, plus podcast, and then we talk comics. You'll learn why the X-Men can be so intimidating, The Age of Apocalypse, and more. This was a fun, wide sweeping conversation. Check it out.
All Things Writing
Join me for one of the most fun interviews I think I have ever done. We didn't even scratch the surface of everything I wanted to talk about. I will most definitely have to invite Erin on again. Join us as we laugh our way through writing advice. And remember to always add the words, "by zombies," and you will never go wrong. LOL
