On Inspiration, Concept, Voice, and Research

What inspired Womb: a novel in utero? Where did the concept come from? How did the voice develop? What kind of research went into making sure the fantastical story was suspended in plausible fact?

These are some of the questions answered during the question and answer session of the Enoch Pratt’s book launch of Womb: a novel in utero, part of the library’s Writers LIVE! Series. A member of the audience shared this clip, recorded during the session.

If you prefer professional audio, you’ll want to listen to the Enoch Pratt’s official podcast recording of the event—complete with introductions by Judy Cooper and Gregg Wilhelm, and a reading and question and answer session with the author.

Podcast for Enoch Pratt’s Writers LIVE: Eric D. Goodman, Womb: a novel in utero

The Enoch Pratt Free Library in downtown Baltimore hosted the launch of my new book, Womb: a novel in utero, in March as part of their popular Writers LIVE series. 

Gregg Wilhelm, founder of the CityLit Project, introduced me (and Judy Cooper, head of the Enoch Pratt, introduced him). 

Then I got up and spoke, read a few excerpts from Womb, and took questions and answers.

The library has released a podcast of the event, which you can find at their website. You can stream it from their website or download it as an mp3.

Enjoy the podcast now at the Enoch Pratt’s website.
