Well Done, But...
I really wanted to love and get a ton out of this podcast, not because I am a fan of August, but because I am an author trying to make it in the publishing world. Unfortunately I find this podcast only OK. August says it more than one that he realizes his story isn't typical and it isn't. It is FAR from the typical author story. He has connections already, he "knows people" in industry's that are helpful to an author. So no, his story is not typical. Especially when he talks about the potential bidding war for the film rights of his not even completed book. Do I sound bitter? Maybe I am, it's extremely hard to get an agents attention in the book world to get published, so many of us self-publish and slog our way through. I'd love to hear a podcast dedicated to people like me - self-published, local authors who need help finding their way to agents and publishing houses. That would be awesome. This is not that. Though this is a well-done podcast that occasionally verges on tedium with the font discussion and other obsessive moments, but August has a good story and is fun to listen to. Worth your time for sure, but not helpful if you are an aspiring writer.Read full review »

As a long time Scriptnotes listener, it's quite interesting to contrast the "magazine" polish of Launch compared to the "conversational" tone of that podcast. Regardless of which format you prefer, John does a great job of entertaining while informing. If I had one wish, it...Read full review »
