Magnate Sterling is a host on The Book Stage, where he leads The Forecast, a show dedicated to authors writing climate, weather, and the environment into fiction and practice, spanning cli-fi, solarpunk, eco-dystopia, climate horror, ecological fantasy, and nature-rooted spiritual and activist writing. Through in-depth, world-first conversations, Magnate treats each author's world, practice, or premise as a testable idea worth defending, digging into the science, research, and imagination behind the page. Every episode closes with the author's own personal forecast, a real, unscripted prediction for where things head next, on their timeline, in their words.

The Author’s IP Lab is a deep-dive conversation series on The Book Stage that explores the intellectual property, ideas, expertise, frameworks, stories, and opportunities hidden within an author’s work. Each episode goes beyond discussing the book itself to uncover what the author has truly created—and how those ideas can be transformed into new forms of impact, influence, innovation, and opportunity. Through thoughtful, case-study-driven conversations, authors examine the core ideas behind their books, the problems they solve, the audiences they serve, and the possibilities that exist beyond the printed page—from speaking and education to consulting, licensing, media, community, technology, and other forms of intellectual and creative expression. The Author’s IP Lab doesn't simply ask authors about their books. It investigates what their books can become.

Independent Event Coordinator | Book Community Moderator
Independent Event Coordinator | Book Community Moderator (Limited character limits alert) Nancy Abrahamson The Avid Reader Independent Event Coordinator | Book Community Moderator | Literary explorer My journey has taken me through different worlds, from teaching to journalism, and eventually into the wonderful world of books, readers, and literary communities. Each experience has shaped my love for communication, storytelling, learning, and connecting with people. I have always enjoyed a good read, a meaningful conversation, and the opportunity to discover the stories and experiences behind different people. For me, books are not just about the pages we turn. They are also about the conversations they inspire, the perspectives they introduce, and the connections they create. Over time, that interest grew into becoming involved in book communities, moderating reader discussions, and bringing authors and readers closer together. Today, as an independent event coordinator and book community moderator, I enjoy helping create opportunities for literary discussions, author conversations, and collaborations with bloggers, book clubs, podcasts, and other reading communities. I also enjoy discovering new places, exploring different experiences, and being part of occasions that bring people together. Whether it is through a book discussion, an author interview, a community gathering, or a new collaboration, I believe there is always something valuable to discover when people share ideas and experiences. I collaborate with BookStage Network on selected literary events and maintain connections with independent authors, readers, and other creative communities. My work is centred on engagement, meaningful connections, and helping good stories find the people who will appreciate them. At heart, I am simply someone who loves a good story, enjoys meeting interesting people, and believes that every great conversation can open the door to something new.
