It’s time for the Booktube Newbie Tag and the Authortube Newbie Tag!
In this episode of Person Behind the Pages, I’m joined by my good friends and fellow new novelists J A Ross and Julian Grajalesas they help me and jump in on the questions of Booktube and Authortube newbies.
Episode of 1 of Person Behind the Pages features Hugo Award finalist, Nebula award nominee, and New York Times Bestselling author of Legends & Lattes, Travis Baldree. He’s also narrated an audiobook or two ;) and he’s a former game developer! We had a wonderful, wide ranging conversation talking about all of this, his favorite video game ever, the empathy that reading creates, and how growing up on a dairy made him want to get out of there! It was an absolute blast talking with Travis Enjoy!
Welcome to Person Behind the Pages!
The show where we get to know the authors and creators that make the things we love.
I’m your host, Nicholas W Fuller. I’m a writer and a bit of a gamer and here on my YouTube channel I look for fun ways to talk about both.
But on this show, I’m an interviewer.
Some of the most interesting people I know are authors and I want to tease out some of their fun and funny personal stories. The goal of these interviews is to pull back the curtain a little, and learn a bit about the lives of the people who create the awesome works we know and love.
The vibe I’m shooting for is something like a long version of a late night interview with Colbert or Graham Norton - or like an episode of the YouTube show Hot Ones (just without the spicy hot wings).
And while most of my guests will be authors, it won’t be all of them! I’ll also occasionally talk with other creators like cosplayers or gaming YouTubers - anyone that has a nerdy side is fair game. :)
I’m planning to have a new season of Person Behind the Pages every quarter. Some of my guests for season 1 include a NYT bestselling author who is a former game developer (super cool), an award winning scifi author who has a talking cat (really neat and awesome person), and a youtube book reviewer who marathoned all of the Lord of the Rings movies for one of her first dates with her now husband (um, yes?!).
All of them have been great conversations that I can’t wait to share with you. So subscribe, turn on notifications, and get ready to enjoy Person Behind the Pages every week on Fridays.
