Eye on Flux

Yes, you’re in the right place.

Welcome to the new blog for EYE ON FLUX, our brand spanking new podcast. This change marks a new direction for the Flux Blog. Where in the past we were a repository for Flux news, interesting stories from the world of publishing, and the occasionally bizarre random musings of Flux’s acquiring editors (I include my Esteemed Predecessor on that), the launch of the podcast brings a new feel and tone for the blog.

This space will now be the “go to” source for everything having to do with the podcast. We’ll have a link whereby you can download it. You’ll be able to stream it directly from the site. We’ll have supplemental information on everything you hear in the podcast. And it’s all FREE!

And just so you still get your fix for all the latest Flux news, there’s always the OTHER Flux blog on our main Web site: www.fluxnow.com, maintained by the always entertaining Tricia O’Reilly. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out what Tricia’s doing over there.

Here’s the skinny on what this podcast-thingy is all about:

  • The podcast will occur monthly (for the foreseeable future).
  • I (Brian) will be hosting the podcast (for those with an insatiable desire to learn what I sound like).
  • We’ll highlight forthcoming books from our catalogs via author interviews.
  • We’ll answer Listener Burning Questions and give free books away.
  • We’ll have discussions about the world of young adult literature, we’ll have special guests, we’ll have fun.
  • For the time being, EYE ON FLUX is ONLY available here. We anticipate having distribution on iTunes in the near future.
  • Look for the first edition later this week.

Spread the word! Go forth my pretties! Make blog posts and send e-mails. Make sure that everyone has their eye on Flux!

Oh good gumdrops. Thank the gods! This blog is stuck in October 2008. This new direction sounds VERY exciting! I can't wait to listen!
