We dive into the realities of today’s publishing market, why gaming books are harder to sell than ever, and how technology has changed everything from research to fan interaction. Brett also gives great insights on pitching books, crafting query letters, writing fiction, and navigating the crowded modern media space. Along the way, we explore retro game history, discuss Brett’s multi-volume reference series, and reflect on how conventions, community, and physical books still matter in a world overflowing with digital content. If you love retro gaming, classic rock stories, or the craft of writing, this is a fun and wide-ranging conversation you won’t want to miss.
