Scott Carl Sigler is a contemporary American author of science fiction and horror as well as an avid podcaster. Originally from Michigan he now resides in San Francisco, California with his wife and two dogs.

Life

Raised in Cheboygan, Michigan Sigler's father passed his love of classic monster movies along to his son. His mother, a school teacher, encouraged his reading offering him any book he wanted [1]. Sigler wrote his first monster story, "Tentacles", at the age of eight[2].

Sigler didn't travel far for college having attended Olivet College (Olivet, MI) and Cleary College (Ann Arbor, MI) where he earned a BA in Journalism and a BS in Marketing. Scott has had a varied career path having worked fast food, picking fruit, shoveling horse manure, a sports reporter, director of marketing for a software company, software startup founder, marketing consultant, guitar salesman, bum in a rock band[3], and currently as a social media strategist.

Use of Technology

EarthCore was originally published in 2001 by iPublish, an AOL/Time Warner imprint[4]. With the novel doing well as a promotional ebook, Time Warner was planning on publishing the novel. With the economic slump following September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Time Warner did away with the imprint in 2004, Scott decided to start podcasting his novel in March, 2005 as the worlds first podcast only novel [5] to build hype and garner an audience for his work. Sigler considered it a "no brainer" to offer the book as a free audio download. Having searched for podcast novel's" and finding none, Sigler decided to be the first [6]. A shameless self-promoter and worker of viral marketing [7], Sigler was able to get EarthCore offered as a paid download on iTunes in 2006 [8].

After EarthCore's success (EarthCore had over 10,000 subscribers [9]), Sigler released Ancestor, Infection, and The Rookie via podcast. Currently he is producing a weekly show while preparing for the podcast release of his next book, Nocturnal.

Pushing boundaries, Sigler released an Adobe PDF version of Ancestor on Monday 19th March 2007 through Sigler's own podcast as well as others. Ancestor was released on April 1, 2007 to much internet hype and, dispite having been released two weeks earlier as a free ebook, reached #7 on Amazon.com's best-seller list and #1 on Sci-Fi, Horror and Genre-Fiction on the day of release [10].

Sigler is leveraging new media to keep in-touch with his fans, regularly talking with them using social networking sites, via email, and IM.

Scott Sigler was featured in a New York Times article on March 1, 2007 by Andrew Adam Newman. [11] covering authors using podcasting innovations to garner a broader audience.

Influences

Sigler calls King a master craftsman, who writes from the "regular guy" strata from which he hails. "His older stuff had no pretense, no "higher message," no “I’m extremely important” attitude, just rock-solid storytelling and character development. He also would whack any character at any time, and that’s what hooked you in – when characters got into trouble, you didn’t know if they’d live, unlike 99% of the books out there that are trying to develop franchise characters."

According to Sigler, "The Sea Wolf totally changed my views on life".

Sigler saw King Kong (1976 version) when he was a little kid. He said it, "Scared the crap out of me. I hid behind my dad’s shoulder and begged to leave the theatre. As soon as we were out, I asked when we could see it again – that was the moment I knew I wanted to tell monster stories. I wanted to have that same impact on other people."
