Call for progressive authors/creatives: cross-promo opp. (ongoing!)
This does NOT require us to vouch for the quality of each other’s work. It’s basically an interview but more fun, with a playful, semi-fictional veneer.
That said, you can learn more than you ever wanted to know about me here on my substack page and on my web site:
See the recent two episodes of “Space Autistic Author” for examples of guest appearances:
Log 3: https://xhoyenauthor.substack.com/p/space-autistic-author-log-3
Log 2: https://xhoyenauthor.substack.com/p/space-autistic-author-log-2
Log 1 is the pilot episode, introducing the world, but has no author cross-promo ‘interviews’, just an art showcase.

“Space Autistic Author” is like a blend of “Inside Out”, “Red Dwarf”, and “The Muppet Show”, minus the songs and professional talent. :)
It’s very easy:
1) You record 60 seconds of audio,
2) You agree to add a permalink on your web site (not just an announcement in a scrolling feed) linking to your episode. It shows that you’re a fun, playful, sociable creative who believes in mutuality, so it’s to be proudly displayed, like any other interview or webcast appearance.
Your 60s audio recording answers these questions (as you’ll see from the episodes):
-- Something about your journey that brought you to this point in your creative endeavors, and/or
-- Something about your works, perhaps with a plug for a specific recent creation.
You can address either or both of these in your choice of fractions of your allotted 60 seconds. Including both is generally better for audience outreach.
My episode with your guest spot adds more fun content on my sites, and promotes both of us without vouching. Your permalink promotes both of us, too, also without vouching. We spiral each other upward.
If 20 creatives participate, we’re all cross-promoting each other (without vouching).
You’ll notice, also, that each guest’s spot has a ‘theme’ within the semi-fictional world, my ‘Innerverse’. I’m open to your suggestions on how you’d like your segment themed. As with Elisa’s guest spot, you don’t have to be visually represented as you. You can have an ‘avatar’, or other creative depiction. Since this is animation, we can have fun with it.
DM me if interested, or skip the restrictive DM system and send email to the address shown in the subscribe box at the bottom of every page on my web site (which has no annoying popups, btw). I don’t want to just broadcast it, you understand.
See you in the Innerverse,
:)
