Andrew and Ian break their month of silence to talk about… I dunno, a bunch of stuff. Ian relates his yoga ball injury. Andrew gets a call from Hollywood and the BBC. They both talk about book marketing, marketing yourself, and so on, and so forth.

Stuff mentioned in this episode:
Mad Women by Jane Maas. Listen to the author on Radio Times.
Imagine: How Creativity Works by Jonah Lehrer. Listen to the author on Fresh Air.
A favorite publisher of mine, Shire Publications
“How to Write an Email That Will Actually Get a Response” on the Art of Manliness
The Yiddish Policemen’s Union cover design by Will Staehle

Book designer Michel Vrana joins us for a conversation about food, indie comics publishing, Star Wars Insider magazine, Toronto, multi-person studios vs. solo designers, publishing clients vs. self-publishing clients, family & work, and more!

P.S. Check out that episode of Radio Lab about your muse finding you. Interesting idea.

This week we’re pleased to welcome Charles Brock of Faceout Studio to the conversation. We discuss running a multi-person book design studio, book trailers, designer typecasting, and Amish fiction.

P.S. Charles mentions “PhotoBooth,” but the company is actually named Photo Wonder.
