    Lynette M. Burrows on Dystopia, Defiance, and the Stories We Need
    2026/02/15
    What do you get when a writer builds a dystopian world that feels uncomfortably close to the one we already live in? A trilogy worth paying attention to. Alex sits down with Lynette M. Burrows author of the Fellowship Dystopia series, for a conversation that covers a lot of ground; from the moral weight of violence in fiction to the long, sometimes painful arc of developing a protagonist worth following across multiple books.Lynette talks about Miranda, the heart of her series, and how that character evolved in ways that surprised even her creator. They get into what it means to write about agency and justice when the world you're depicting keeps rhyming with current events — and why that's not always intentional, and not always comfortable.The conversation also touches on Robert McKee's storytelling techniques and their influence on storytelling craft, the way real grief finds its way onto the page whether you invite it or not, and why the physical design of a book still matters in an era when everyone claims print is dying. Good dystopia holds a mirror up. This conversation is about what happens when the reflection stares back.ConnectListen to Lynette's first appearance on the show here.Listen to her second appearance here.Visit her website here.Buy the books here!Celebrating 10 Years and hundreds of episodes!

    2026/01/24
    Alex explores the complexities of navigating a creative career, particularly in writing and podcasting. He discusses the pervasive influence of the Author Services Industrial Complex, which capitalizes on authors' anxieties rather than genuinely helping them succeed. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the local nuances of podcasting and marketing, warning against the pitfalls of outsourcing these tasks to firms that lack a deep understanding of the creator's unique voice and audience. ---Book J. Alexander Greenwood for keynotes, panels, podcasts, and live conversations!J. Alexander Greenwood speaks on work, writing, media, and the systems people have to navigate every day, drawing from real-world experience as a writer, communicator, and podcaster.He appears at conferences, universities, book clubs, professional associations, and with organizations looking for something more grounded than a generic motivational talk. Formats include keynotes, panels, workshops, classroom conversations, and podcast or interview appearances. Engagements can be virtual or in person.Common topics include Radical Competency and workplace dynamics, independent publishing and author entrepreneurship, podcasting and storytelling, public relations and crisis communication, writing craft and the creative process, building a sustainable creative career, and true crime and the ethics of storytelling.

    The Long Apprenticeship I Didn’t Know I Was In
    2026/01/08
    On the Season 17 Premiere, Alex reflects on Robert Greene's book 'Mastery' and its profound impact on his understanding of personal growth and the writing craft. He discusses the concept of the long apprenticeship, the importance of recognizing one's true self, and the influences that have shaped his journey as a writer. Alex emphasizes the value of dedication and the gradual process of mastering a craft, while also looking forward to the new year with optimism and clarity.TakeawaysMastery is about the long apprenticeship we often overlook.Robert Greene's work offers depth rather than shortcuts.The false self accumulates from societal expectations.Mastery is a gradual process of devotion and practice.Writing is a craft that requires consistent effort.Influences shape our understanding and approach to craft.Personal growth is intertwined with the mastery of skills.Life experiences contribute to our unique perspectives.Recognizing one's life's task is crucial for fulfillment.The journey of mastery is ongoing and ever-evolving.Chapters00:00 The Long Apprenticeship Begins01:28 Understanding Mastery and the False Self04:06 Influences and the Craft of Writing05:55 Reflections on Life and Learning07:22 Looking Ahead: A New Year and New Insights- - - - - - - - - - - -Celebrating 10 Years and hundreds of episodes!
