My story from Interzone 199, “This, My Body,” a sensual tale of sex, food and religion, is now live on Escape Pod.
I am very, very nervous about listener reaction to this one.

Based on comparing listeners and subscriber numbers, Escape Pod is the second largest market for short science fiction, with 20,000 downloads after a month for each episode. I don’t have anything to say about that. I just want to mention it, and see what you all think of that. I’ve talked about this before, but I think their listener count has grown since then.
(And yes, the prospect of my latest sale to them being heard by 20,000 people is somewhat terrifying.)

I am super, super excited to announce that my story from All-Star Zeppelin Adventure Stories (edited by Jay Lake and David Moles–two of the finest cats to mark up a manuscript) has gone live on Escape Pod. Escape Pod is the one podcast I listen to every week without fail, and I’ve been using Escape Pod as an example of the best reader/listenership you can find online. Having a story go live with them is one of my major career goals. I just gave it a listen as I got ready for work, and I loved it. Major, major squee for me today.
Hi! My name is Jeremiah Tolbert, but call me Jeremy. I am a writer, photographer, and web designer currently living in Northern Colorado, seeking either freelance web design work or fulltime employment.

If you’re inclined, you can follow me on Twitter, where I share various links and talk about the same things I talk about here, only with fewer characters.
The structure and nature of short stories haven’t really changed in the digital age, as far as I can tell. They’re still told the same way mostly, same perspectives, in roughly the same amount of time ( around 3-7000 words). E-zines are for the most part straight forward adaptations of the print magazine format, to [...]
Since I started getting serious about photography, I have followed a relatively predictable pattern. As soon as there has been snow on the ground, I have quit shooting for the year. I hate snow, I hate the cold, and I have never found winter to be an inspiring time for any of [...]
As a designer, I’m always stumbling across useful resources and tools online, but for whatever reason, I find fewer tools that really exist to help make writers’ lives easier. That doesn’t mean they aren’t out there. It just means you have to dig a little deeper. Today, I thought I would share some tools that [...]
At least in the science fiction community, there’s a lot of false community wisdom floating around about the editorial process. Some of them may have been true once. Some were probably invented to mess with the heads of noobs. Some of them are carefully nutured lies, like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Well, no [...]
That seems like an unusual idea, doesn’t it? That wielding a camera to capture single moments in time really has anything valuable to add to the process of writing stories? But it has, I think. Each time I pick up the camera, I think about writing, and each time I write, I think about [...]
