In this episode of Creative Dynamos, I talk with my longtime friend and mentor, Matt Selznick. We cover the gamut, from Matt's extensive writing journey. From writing short stories in his childhood to creating immersive fantasy worlds like the Shapers World and the Sovereign Era, Matt has done it all. Matt provides insights into his self-publishing experiences and the early days of podcasting fiction. Our conversation delves into world-building, character development, and the intricacies behind Matt's unique, character-driven storytelling approach. Matt also introduces his 'Your Story Buddy' service and announces an exclusive offer for listeners of the podcast.
