<p>This week, we're chatting to Joseph Eckert whose debut novel has been 15 years in the making, and almost took him to Hollywood.</p><br><p>It's an incredible hook, about Scott Treder who finds himself thrown forwards in time by a day. Then by 2 days. Then 4, 8 16, months, and years. You can hear how it all came from a childhood fascination with exponents and a pocket-money pact.</p><br><p>Joseph lives on the USA's west coast, but works east coast hours - we discuss how that affects his writing day. Also hear about his dream den, how his novel began directly on the big screen, and his very thorough first reader. </p><br><p>We discuss how time-travel novels often ask more questions of the author, than providing solutions, how he planned the future of humanity, and his scope for editorial push-back.</p><br><p>Get a copy of the book - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutine</p><br><p>Support the show - </p><p>patreon.com/writersroutine</p><p>ko-fi.com/writersroutine</p><br><p>@writerspod</p><p>writersroutine.com</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
