The Nerd Count Podcast
The Nerd Count Podcast discusses all things nice and nerdy: science fiction, fantasy, horror, the weird, the strange & unusual, books, comics, film, and TV. We discuss writing, editing, submitting, and publishing, living as writers, balancing full-time work, writing groups, workshops, and more. Hosted by Mercurio D. Rivera and yours truly, Matthew Kressel.
Your nerds in residence:
In our inaugural episode 001 we discuss the ins and outs of writing groups: the benefits and drawbacks, elements of an effective critique, how to receive a critique like a pro, and various critique techniques like the Milford Method.
We also share some fun anecdotes about past guests and potential members of our current writing group, Altered Fluid.
