Get Published, Episode 2 – Barriers to Publication

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

Episode 2 is finally here. I wanted to get an episode out every month for the first few until I get into the groove. I almost made it.

I’m using a new microphone which worked pretty well although I did run into an annoying hum partway through the recording. I’ve still got some work to do.

I encourage you to send me your thoughts and feedback on this episode so I can make it better.

Sorry for the audio problems
What could the barriers be?
The biggest barrier to publication is you, the author (no shot intended)
Procrastination is not your friend
Don’t be impatient
Avoid fear
Don’t try to be perfect
Know your market
Believe in yourself. Be determined!
Know what the publisher wants
Have a plan

Don’t be hard on your self about scripting you shows. Your on point. I ramble alot on my show.

As far as feed back goes don’t ever count on it. Leave the door open but just keep making your show. NBC and FOX won’t take you off of iTunes for not having enough listens.

for your Question. I say podcast your writing. You might get feed back but you will also get listeners.

I don’t think the publisher for podcasting but you will have a fan base to help you promo when you do get publish.
