Background

Hutchins began podcasting in 2006 after receiving multiple rejections from various agents,[2] with 7th Son being his first podcast release. Shortly thereafter in 2007, St. Martin's Press picked up the print rights to 7th Son and Dark Arts,[3] an interactive novel.[4] Hutchins, dubbed a "new media superstar," writes from home alongside his partner, novelist Eleanor Brown.[5][6]

Reception
