Get Started on your self-publishing career!

New Release: For Love or Money… and PODCASTS!

Fiction is my business, but my indie-author books… strangely enough, those are for love! The indie author community has been such a tremendous support to me that I want to give back by sharing what I know. The first book, The Indie Author Survival Guide, covers everything you need to get started. The second book, For Love or Money, is a straight-shooting guide to help you build a career as a writer. My hope is that both with help my writer friends make their dreams come true!


If the books help you, please review and spread the word – as I said, fiction is my business. These non-fiction books have to get by on word-of-mouth alone. So give your fellow authors a helping hand by passing these resources on to them.

PLEASE SHARE THIS FB POST
about the release to let your fellow authors know!

Podcasts are the new thing!

In these variety of chats, I talk about indie publishing, my books, marketing, and even do a podcast with my kid! Often these podcasts are available on iTunes where you can subscribe to get future episodes.
Teen Writers Publish Podcast – I join my son Adam (an author in his own right) to discuss our best recommendations about writing and publishing for teens… and we even do a joint first-page critique! (audio on the website and iTunes)
The Creative Penn – Joanna Penn interviews me about the mindset associated with becoming a successful indie-published author, as well as marketing and tips on balance (audio and transcript as well as video). 
Author Strong Podcast – (Part 1, Part 2) – Matt Morris, Nancy Elliott, and I chat about my Biggest Failure/Learning Experience and how writing groups and critique partners are vital part of your journey (direct download audio and iTunes).

Science Fiction and Fantasy Marketing Podcast – Lindsay Buroker, Joseph Lallo, Jeffrey Poole and I chat about the science in science fiction, the new KU program, and overrated and underrated marketing techniques (text summary, iTunes and YouTube).
Hank Garner’s Podcast – In this interview, I chat mostly about my books and my career (this one is a bit older, dated last November) (audio).

Not a podcast, but… I guest-posted on David Gaughran’s blog: Staying Sane in a Crazy (Self-Publishing) World

  1. Both of your books have been very helpful to me. I do have one question about PenName's books. Did she use a soft launch or a hard launch?
