Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

Erik Buchanan is a former actor/fight director turned professional writer. He has a lot of interesting things to say about writing and his journey as a published author. His second book, “Cold Magics” is coming out in April.

We also have a very good writing question.

I hope you enjoy the episode.

Man, that was a great answer to my question. Thank you Mike, and much thanks to Lorina Stephens. What she said was really great to hear. I think that as time goes on, more and more publishing houses may start to accept authors who have used the model of putting stuff out for free to build a fan base of people who will then be asking to buy. We’ve seen it work for podiobooks authors. I think that if I do get published, it probably would be with a small or indie press. With that in mind, I think I’m going to go ahead and give my first couple books away for free in every format except hard copy. I will perhaps make paperbacks available online to sell, we’ll see. I suppose I need to finish editing one and writing the other before I can do any of this We writers love to plan, but as Mur Lafferty would say, I should be writing! Cool interview as well, a lot of great info for us newbie writers to glean. Thanks Mike!

I’m glad that answered your question and even more pleased that I was able to get Lorina Stephens to weigh in on it. I have my own opinion on the subject but I think an answer from an honest-to-goodness publisher is even more valuable.
