Bryon Quertermous joins us in the episode of CrimeFiction.FM to discuss his debut novel, MURDER BOY. Show Notes Bryon shares the storyline for Murder Boy. Laura Lippman calls Murder Boy, “Disturbing in a good way,” and “A black comedy with heart.” Bryon shares a funny story about the publication process for the book. Bryon shares the story of the first copy of Murder Boy he signed, at a bookstore, for one of his writing heroes. From the Publisher Dominick Prince is out of options. He’s lived in Detroit long enough to use his experiences of crime and poverty to fuel his writing, but he’s ready to move on to bigger and better things. Dominick’s thesis advisor, the elitist Parker Farmington, refuses to let Dominick pass his class, thinking the genre of potboilers beneath him. Which means rather than becoming the next literary sensation, Dominick will spend his life asking customers if they’d like fries with that. And if that’s the only plan, kidnapping doesn’t seem like such a bad plan B. So if Farmington won’t pass him willfully, Dominick will make him do it forcefully. And once he has Farmington’s signature, fame and fortune are within Dominick’s grasp. But while Dominick may have a devious and brilliant mind on the page, in reality he’s more Betty White than Walter White. And before he can write ’the plot thickens,’ Dominick’s plan begins to go horribly wrong. Teaming with Farmington’s jilted mistress and her loose-cannon bounty hunter brother, Dominick finds that if even the best laid plans go awry, then his doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. And being a great writer won’t matter much if he’s six feet under.

Murder Boy, by Bryon Quertermous

248 – Murder Boy by Bryon Quertermous

Author and Editor Bryon Quertermous is the guest in this episode of The Author Biz. Are you ever curious about editing? Bryon Quertermous Oh sure, we all know what editing is, at least as it pertains to our writing. But my experience of editing is probably much different than yours. Authors published by the Big 5 wonder if they can find the type of editor they’re used to working with if they indie publish their next book. Indie authors wonder how much control they would lose if they signed a contract with a Big 5 publisher. And, of course, new authors wonder how to find the right editor. Being a naturally curious fellow,  I searched for an editor that could clear some of this up for us. Someone with Big 5 editing experience, who’s now working as a freelancer. Bryon Quertermous is an editor and an author. His first book, MURDER BOY, is being published March 31st. He has over a decade of publishing experience that began in New York with Random House. He spent time spent running Angry Robot Book’s crime fiction imprint as well as working as a freelance editor for New York Times bestselling authors. Books he’s edited have been selected as the best of the year by USA Today and Library Journal among others. Bryon answers my questions on editing and more in this 52-minute interview, including:    Bryon describes his career in publishing, which included stops at Random House, Angry Robot Books and Carina Press (an imprint of Harlequin) among others. How the indie community supports one another when it comes to information sharing and recommendations for top professionals. An in-depth conversation covering the different types of edits and the importance of each of them, with a focus on Bryon’s specialty, the developmental edit. Byron shares his thoughts on whether or not there is a quantifiable difference between the quality of the editing provided to Big 5 published authors vs. that available to indie published authors. How much should an author be prepared to pay for a developmental edit? Laura Lippman describes Bryon’s new book, MURDER BOY, as a “Dark comedy with a heart.” Bryon describes MURDER BOY and explains why he wanted outside help for the developmental edit of his book. Bryon shares his making it up as he goes along marketing plan, and the way serendipity comes into play when you’re hand selling books to local bookstores. Bryon offers advice to traditionally published authors interested in becoming hybrid authors Bryon offers some surprising advice to first-time authors who will soon be looking for an editor.
