From Oklahoma to Parts Unknown: Broc Sewell on Rejection, Endurance, and Choosing Your Adventure

*Note: During the interview, we accidentally misspelled Broc's series as "Legends of the Sora," instead of "Legends of Sora." From a kid in a town of under 2,000 people, Broc Sewell left Kellyville, Oklahoma as soon as he graduated and ventured out to ... everywhere. Along the way, he discovered a world outside the US that he fell in love with, and although Broc admits he was "mostly lost" as he made his way through Japan, Greece, Germany, Italy, South Korea (during COVID, no less), and South Africa, he's learned some great life lessons along the way as he delves into his next big adventure—writing and funding an Epic Adventure Fantasy series. 0:00 Meet Broc Sewell 1:34 From Kellyville to Japan—and Around the World 3:23 What Inspired Broc’s Life of Travel 4:24 Writing Himself Into His Characters 5:36 The 14-Year Journey to Publish His First Novel 8:18 The Soul-Crushing Search for a Literary Agent 13:44 Choosing Kickstarter and Independent Publishing 14:37 A Fully Funded Campaign—and Legendary Audiobook Narrators 15:46 Planning the Eight-Book Legends of Sora Series 16:38 Funding Fury’s End in Just Two Hours 17:21 Inside the Deluxe Edition of Fair With Fortune 18:21 Broc’s Plans for the Next Six Books 19:26 How to Support Fury’s End on Kickstarter 20:28 Getting Both Books Through the Campaign See the Kickstarter for the first Legends of Sora book, "Fair with Fortune:" https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brocsewell/legends-of-sora-fair-with-fortune
