  • E37: Author, Andrew Van Wey, Part 2

    Welcome to the second part of an interview with author Andrew VanWey that I did back in August of 2022.

    In part one, we talked about Andrew's beginnings, and explored a little of what new teachers might want to consider as they begin teaching English in Korea. We concluded with a little of what it is to be a writer, from Andrew's perspective. In part two, we jump right into serious gaming and link that to storytelling, and conclude with a plug for independent publishing.
