Matthew Wayne Selznick is a storyteller in every sense of the word.  He has applied the principles of story and narrative since he was a small boy, evolving epic story arcs in the sweeping battles between his vast toy collection. He continues his explorations of expression in all his pursuits as a musician, a social media marketer and (of course) as an author. Ryan Stevenson and I thoroughly enjoyed this 20(ish) minutes with Matt, delving into many of the topics near and dear to his heart, such as the process and application of worldbuilding, the qualities of good story telling, and so much more. Writerly goodness abounds, dear friends… hit that PLAY button and enjoy! (and you gotta make a return trip to catch Matt’s Workshop Episode!)

"Pilgrimage" Kickstarter Campaign

“Pilgrimage” Kickstarter Campaign

UPDATE: The Project is FUNDED!  Well done EVERYONE for transforming a fabulous idea into a reality! The cool thing is, my offer outlined below still stands for a few more days… read on!

A couple weeks back, we had an interview with the talented Matt Selznick where we discussed his Kickstarter campaign to fund “Pilgrimage”, a sequel to Matt’s “Brave Men Run: A Novel of the Sovereign Era”. It was a great discussion and we learned a lot about Matt and how he does what he does.

Well, it’s two weeks later – only FIVE DAYS LEFT at the time of this writing – and he is SO CLOSE to bringing it home. A lot of people have stepped up to throw in their own amazing incentives to help make this project happen:

Scott Roche and Justin Macumber (both Roundtable veterans from Workshop Episode 8) have stepped up and offered FREE BOOKS & STORIES of their own as additional donation incentives.

P. G. Holyfield (Another RTP Guest Host from Workshop Episode 7) is offering to write a sequel to his own Sovereign Era story that appeared in the anthology “Sovereign Era: Year One” for the a pledge of $50!

This kind of support is inspiring and we would be remiss if we didn’t step up as well. So here’s the deal:

If you increase your existing donation by $10 – OR – Donate $50I’ll narrate any story you want up to 3000 words!

If you increase your existing donation by $20 – OR – Donate $100I’ll narrate any story you want up to 7000 words

AND if you increase your existing donation by $50 – OR – Donate $200I’ll narrate any story you want up to 14,000 words

That’s right… this rich baritone, full of gravitas, and inflected with the skill of a seasoned vocal warrior can be yours for a paltry sum.

What are you waiting for? The clock is ticking! Reserve your story narration now! Go to Matt’s Kickstarter Site now and boost or make your donation!

We invited Matt to join us and discuss “Pilgrimage” and the Kickstarter project, but you know us… we can’t just talk about one thing.  We delve into Matt’s creative process, his perspective on super-hero culture, and the greatest asset a writer can cultivate. It’s a fabulous discussion and it’s just a mouse-click away!
