Listen "Short Books are the Future — Featuring Lee Patton"
Episode Synopsis
Check out A Valley of Shadow: https://thearcanist.net/novels/avos.htmlFantasy authors feel obligated to write giant books in never ending series. Trilogies composed of 800-page tomes litter store shelves. In the days of yore, this was a good thing. Now, with attention spans dwindling, authors are failing to meet the needs of their readers. Lee Patton seeks to impact fantasy by returning to the serial and standalone models that drove 20th century pulp fiction. His debut novella, A Valley of Shadow, is a searing introduction into the realm of short books. In this talk, he enlightens us on how he did it.
