Interview about the Pulp Era with Sara Light-Waller
Sara Light-Waller is n award-winning author and illustrator of new pulp science fiction stories in the manner of Golden Age science fiction from the 1930’s through 1950’s. She discusses the classic era of pulp science fiction at The Rocketeer.
In this wide ranging and fun interview, we discussed the rise of science fiction, the history of the pulp sci-fi sub-genre, how the positive outlook of sci-fi dwindled in the 1950s and 1960s, how pulp differs from other forms of sci-fi, theosophy and pulp sci-fi, her own pulp works, why you should support indie authors, and more.
Here are some neat snip-its.
