    THIS FREAKING PODCAST

    Wonder how a writer's mind works? Then join Jess Moon, co-founder of Shadow Spark Publishing, and her authors Erika McCorkle, Valerie Storm, and Alyssa Lauseng as they talk about everything writing: how characters and plots are made, what inspires them as writers, and how expansive world-building can be in fantasy!

    In this podcast, listeners will also get an in-depth look into the worlds of Alvertaen, the Pentagonal Dominion, Demon Storm, and Alyssa's World. Expect guests, fun, and even a bit of anime, gaming, and music talk (where the best inspiration is, really). And who knows? Maybe with us, you'll be able to find your spark.

  • SSP Author Interview: Douglas Jern
    Nov 16 2024

    Introducing new(ish) author Douglas Jern, another newbie from Spark Pit. Today we break down his SSP debut novel, Life After Dusk, and discuss what got him to this point.

    Writing since he was a kid, Doug took a break before returning to Fanfiction and, later, short stories. One of those won an award from Writer's Digest in 2017, which kicked off his plans for a collection. He found Shadow Spark, joined Spark Pit, and the rest is history! Tune in for some ~secret~ details about Doug's journey and remember - Water the Weird!
