The BIG FICTION Podcast is an offshoot of BIG FICTION Magazine, a semiannual journal publishing novelettes (long short stories) by emerging writers. The podcast is a conversation between the writers and the editors. We offer an exchange of ideas: a space for fiction writers to talk craft, inspiration, culture, race, politics, and sometimes tattoos, as well as a host of other things that help bring their stories to life.
Writer Jen Hinst-White describes how a life journey shapes our fictions, what it takes to work through an apprenticeship novel, and the stories in every tattoo. (2019)
Writer and activist Avery Irons talks Brooklyn, how setting influences what a character becomes, and how violence can become intensely personal. (2019)
Author and podcaster Panio Gianopoulos discusses what inspires him to write, how family sometimes becomes fiction, and how sad can make for entertaining fiction. (2019)
