Hugh Howey Interview – Part 2: New York Times Bestselling author of ‘Wool’ and the Most Humble Indie-Publishing Superstar You Will Ever Meet
In Part 2 of my interview with Hugh Howey...
We chat about his favorite novel, as in what which he'd take to a deserted island if he could only take one. We learn his writing tools of choice — Mac or PC; Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, Scrivener, old fashioned typewriter; and what piece of software he can't live without. We discuss which actors he'd like to see play the lead characters from Wool when Ridley Scott makes the movie. And we talk about the benefits of serializing your novel, ideal word count, and other publishing strategies that helped make Wool into the huge success it is. And other cool stuff, of course! Go watch it now and leave a comment for me, Hugh, or both of us. Enjoy!

In this episode of APV...
I have the pleasure of interviewing the author of Wool and self-publishing phenom, Hugh Howey. In this first part, we chat about how Hugh first became interested in writing, the books that influenced him early on, his first adventures into the world of traditional publishing, his subsequent shift to indie-publishing, and his ideas about how novels need to hook the reader faster today than they did before the technology revolution. And we laugh about why anyone who can't write a good tweet will probably struggle as an author these days.
