Welcome Friend!
You’ve reached the page where you can download the free Meta-tation you were offered by The Wizard Devin Person, either from scanning the code you saw on the screen at the end of his lecture on Metafiction or on the flyer he handed you.
This short magical audio experience is something I’m offering for free… while also using it to bait you into giving me your email address. However, I don’t have a newsletter or do any ongoing digital promotions for myself, so the real reason I want your email is so I can write you a personalized message and see what comes of it!
Maybe you just download the audio file, ignore my email, and that’s the end of it! That’s perfectly fine. But maybe you respond to my email and that exchange leads to something. Who knows where that will take us! My invitation here is only for you to take the first step and allow the magic to do the rest…
(While the audio is completely free, it will still ask you for your billing address. I promise I won’t do anything with your actual address. I just want your email!)
But wait there’s more!
Since you likely attended my lecture on the Magic of Metafiction, based on the book I wrote, you may be interested in getting a copy of that book! So here’s a description and links to buy it in hard or soft cover. And it’s printed and shipped internationally which I think may allow it to avoid the current US tariff nonsense…
Metafiction is writing that knows it is writing.
In SO LET IT BE WRITTEN - A Wizards’ Guide to Metafiction, this already self-aware genre folds in on itself in a magical exploration of what metafiction can teach us about writing, reading, and the strange experience of existing at all. Across essays, short stories, memoirs, and comics, our two wizards, Devin Person (host of This Podcast is a Ritual, hypnotherapist, and wizard extraordinaire) and Eric J. Millar (writer and artist of The Disruption Generator, The No Gods But My Own trilogy, and self-titled Garbage Wizard), lead the reader into a deeper understanding of metafiction and its implications. From groundbreaking works by Italo Calvino and Grant Morrison to a mind blowing theory on how Chat-GPT really works, this is a book that will change the way you look at books forever.
Wow, are you still reading this?
Since you made it this far down the page, I assume you’re at least mildly curious about my work so it seems wise to plug my podcast, THIS PODCAST IS A RITUAL, which is an ongoing ritual hypersigil using the space-and-time spanning magic of the podcast medium to create a “slightly better” reality. You can find it wherever you listen to podcasts.
And thanks so much for reading this far down the page! I deeply appreciate your enthusiasm and interest and this means you’re exactly the sort of person I’m hoping will give me their email in exchange for the free Meta-tation audio. Maybe one day you’ll be a guest on my podcast and tell the story of how you read this entire weird page I wrote! Who knows!
