This episode Scrolls flips over the page to see things from the other side in terms of\xa0starting out\xa0as a writer.\xa0 Acting as a companion piece to the Author Interviews
\nrecorded at the SFX Weekender we've pulled together three authors who have taken non-traditional approaches to getting their fiction out into the public domain.
Joining Phil and Clover in a virtual round-table discussion of their experiences, and the pros and cons of these alternative avenues are:-
Barry Nugent\xa0(Shadowy Godfather of the Geek Syndicate and author of\xa0Fallen Heroes, self published through\xa0Lulu's print-on-demand service)
Alex Keller\xa0(Author of pre-teen steampunk novels\xa0Haywired\xa0and\xa0Rewired, printed by small-press publisherMogzilla) and
Mark Bell\xa0(Author of folk horror novel\xa0Binder of Bone, Keeper of Corn\xa0which he has published exclusively as an e-book).
