Ep. 071: Zach Bohannon on Getting Out of the Writing Chair Occasionally

December 15, 2017

Zach Bohannon talks about co-writing, the new Scrivener, launch plans and mailing lists.

Zach is a horror, science fiction, and fantasy author. His breakout post-apocalyptic zombie series, Empty Bodies, was an Amazon #1 bestseller. In addition, he is also the co-owner of Molten Universe Media, where he co-writes with author J. Thorn. The duo also hosts a unique retreat for authors called Authors on a Train.

He lives in Tennessee with his wife, daughter, and German shepherd. He loves hockey, heavy metal, video games, reading, and he doesn’t trust a beer he can see through. He’s a retired drummer and has had a beard since 2003—long before it was cool.

    Great Podcast Rachael. Fascinating to hear Zach’s writing process with J. I am looking forward to the new Scrivener rolling out to Windows; especially the record of writing numbers each day. I was lucky enough to be an author on the train with Zach and J this year and I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was well worth it. Apart from meeting a great bunch of people and learning an awful lot from both Zach and J and the group it has made me re-evaluate my writing and I am now confident I can earn a good living from my writing. “Must go,” he expostulated (whatever that means). 🙂
