The editorial staff here doesn’t usually cluster around each others’ computers to listen to mid-morning talk radio, but last Monday we made an exception for a segment featuring the author of Fandex DC Comics Super Heroes and Villains, Randall Lotowycz.
When Randy briefly spoke with his editor that morning, he offhandedly reminded her that he would be making a local stop on his national radio tour in only ten minutes time. With the timing just right, clearly the only logical thing to do was to organize an impromptu listening party!
So, we corralled as many passersby as possible, crowded into an office housing a computer with external speakers (a little luxury mine is currently lacking), and listened as Randy charmed the interviewer and audience alike with his extensive DC Comics knowledge.
Three members of the editorial team – Maisie (the proud editor!), myself, and Nate – listen as our picture is snapped entirely for the purposes of this post.

May 12, 2010 at 2:00 pmLove your idea of hosting an impromptu listening party. You’ve inspired me (yep, I’m in marketing). Whether organizing a listening party for authors I work with or for authors I’m personally interested in at other houses–this is a unique way to build internal enthuiasm/support. Way to go! Oh, and while I bombed on the quiz, it was entertaining.
