Page Break Episode 17: Mallory O'Meara
The seventeenth episode of my new podcast Page Break is now out! In this episode, my guest is author and podcaster Mallory O’Meara.
Mallory wrote the bestselling nonfiction book The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick. Her upcoming Girly Drinks, a feminist history of women and alcohol, is out just a week from broadcast of this episode. Mallory is also the co-host of the literary podcast Reading Glasses.
Mallory and I talk about how authors are bound to social media and the frustration that brings; how her career took a left turn into nonfiction; and the way Covid disrupted the fragile social lives of creative professionals.
Page Break with Brian McClellan is a collection of casual conversations between me and fellow creative professionals—like two friends sitting down over lunch to discuss career, craft, family, and hobbies.
Authorhood is a quiet sort of minor fame where the person behind the words is often obscured by the works they’ve created. I aim to use this podcast to find out more about my friends and colleagues.
Look forward to weekly conversations with creators like TV writer/producer Joseph Mallozzi, epic fantasy author Robin Hobb, science fiction author Pierce Brown, Twitch streamer Mark Hulmes, and many more!
