I don’t count myself remotely as an expert, but…

We've expanded our beloved Ask an Agent column to include experts from all sorts of fields. BFS members get the chance, every month, to ask questions of someone with loads of experience in a field to do with speculative fiction. And...

April's expert is @aptshadow.bsky.social!

Does traditional = artisanal?

aptshadow.bsky.social•50 days ago

Only if it’s from the Grand Cinq area of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling publishing.

karloff0734.bsky.social•50 days ago

See, these are the subtleties I miss by not living in France, the land of wonders, delight, and rule of law.

You've spent more than 10k hours writing and you've sold a lot of books. That makes you an expert.

wwhills.bsky.social•50 days ago

I would! Enjoy your works immensely!

mercenarypen.bsky.social•50 days ago

Alright expert, is it sock, sock, shoe, shoe
Or sock, shoe, sock, shoe?

aptshadow.bsky.social•50 days ago

Sock & Awe

mercenarypen.bsky.social•50 days ago

Sounds like how Americans put on shoes

Well if you could count yourself remotely - I'm sure that would make you an expert in being in two places at once. Perhaps the Quantum Entangled Tchaikovsky.

I would endorse you on LinkedIn for invertebrates

kithrup.bsky.social•50 days ago

Oh please nobody has performed an Adrian Tchaikovksy as well as you have. That makes you the expert!

stegamous.bsky.social•50 days ago

You've earned it and keep proving it.
Love your work

Question about that picture: Did you go for the „Klingon warrior“ look in purpose? 😉

fusselkopp.bsky.social•50 days ago

*on

prettyhatmachine.bsky.social•50 days ago

I mean those book sales do suggest some serious skills though?

keithwdickinson.bsky.social•50 days ago

I'm still a pert, but I can give it up any time I want!

You are an expert at writing and navigating the publishing world to the point where you make your living at it. I'd consider you an expert in those subjects.

aptshadow.bsky.social•50 days ago

It’s my beetle waistcoat :)

sheryler.bsky.social•50 days ago

I count you an expert on giant spiders 🕷
