EP423: Christian Cameron — “You’re Always Worldbuilding.”

Christian Cameron is an incredibly prolific writer and military historian who also writes as Miles Cameron. His new novel as Miles is Against All Gods, an epic set in the Bronze Age that gives a new twist to familiar myths and legends. Christian tells how he learned to write without doubting himself, how historical recreation has helped with research, and why there are no minor characters.

And in the extended version for Academy members and podcast Patrons, the Two Marks discuss the evolution and growth of a writer, writing with family members, sandboxing ideas, and much more!

WE DISCUSS…

How writers can become method writers using re-enactment
How working in the military taught him how to write
And how he uses Sandboxing to test new characters and ideas…

Please Note: We recorded this in person in the bowels of the Hachette building in London, so there’s no video if you’re watching this on Youtube…
