Tune in to the conversation with author of 3 series and over 15 books: Alex Bledsoe, as he shares his experiences with fantasy in real life, rejection, and two seemingly opposite genres that will make you pee your pants.

Whether you’re writing fantasy, thriller, or modern day fiction, Alex explains how it’s all rooted around real life–and why that humanity is more important than any fantasy world you can build. Hear why humor is harder to portray than other human emotions (such as love or terror), the benefits of niche publishing houses, and the reality behind the grueling query process. Alex will share truths from his journey to becoming a published novel from age 18 to 44 and more on this episode of Am I Write?
