Interview with Brian McClellan – Page Break

Epic fantasy author Brian McClellan invited Brent to chat on Page Break, Brian’s new podcast.

Brent and Brian dig pretty deep into the world of an epic fantasy writer – they talk about the bloat experienced by most long series; how writing dark scenes can affect mental health; what Brent is up to next; and how to choose what to remove and what to leave in a story. Enjoy Brian’s conversation with Brent Weeks!

You can also find Brian at his website, on Twitter and Instagram, or find his books on Amazon, direct from his bookstore, or your favorite local bookstore.
