Get Published Episode 99 – eBooks and Enthrill Distribution

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope you are all getting a break from the workaday and are spending some quality time doing what you enjoy.

In today’s episode I am happy to have President of Enthrill Distribution, Kevin Franco talking about Enthrill’s excellent eBook gift card product. I first came across it at When Words Collide and then again at World Fantasy Convention. I think it is a fantastic way to market and sell eBooks and I’m very glad he agreed to come on the show.

I’ve also had more success with promotion through the simplest means possible: talking to people. I discuss this in more detail during the tips and typos section of the show.

That’s today’s episode. I hope you enjoy it.

Get Published Episode 83 – John W Campbell Nominee Mur Lafferty

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

When I first started listening to podcasts there were two that I always downloaded: The Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy and I Should Be Writing.

The Survival Guide with Tee Morris is no longer being produced, but I Should Be Writing with Mur Lafferty most definitely is and I still listen to and enjoy it. That is what makes this episode special for me. I got to talk to Mur about writing and her John W. Campbell nomination.

I also got to talk with Paul E. Cooley again. The last time we got together, I had a blast talking about a lot of different things. Paul talked a little bit about a new software application he has developed called MyWrite. It sounded like something that writers should know about so I invited Paul back to talk about it some more.

That means lots of great conversation from both guests. I hope you enjoy the show.
