Get Published Episode 53 – JR Murdock Self Publishes Astel

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

A Twitterfriend of my mine, JR Murdock, is self-publishing his YA Fantasy novel Astel. He tells me it is partially prompted by this show and the growing interest and success of self-publishing. Especially for eBooks.

Naturally, I had to get him on the show to learn more about his endeavour and what he has learned by doing it himself. He has become quite the resource for DIY publishing. He has also kindly provided a rebate code for his book in case you would like to purchase a copy of your own.

For the print edition - https://www.createspace.com/3551482 and use the discount code HCKBWXRB to get $2 off

For the ebook edition - http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/43948 - SQ67K to get 50% off

I was also fortunate to get another segment from CA Marshall for “Tips and Typos”. In this segment she talks about query letters. Certainly a shortcoming of mine.

Last but not least, I’ve been hinting about a secret project for several weeks/months. In this episode I actually begin talking about it.

That’s the lineup for today’s show. I hope you enjoy it.

Get Published Episode 33 – Double Feature – Scott Sigler & Flying Island Press

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Today’s episode is a special double-feature. I was lucky enough to talk with Zach Ricks and Scott Roche of Flying Island Press during Balticon 44. They talk about the new e-magazine “Flagship” and the upcoming submission deadline (June 15th) for their first issue. I also interviewed Scott Sigler who has the novel “Ancestor” coming out June 22nd.

I wanted to get both in front of you before the deadlines so you get two for the price of one. Both are great conversations that I hope you’ll enjoy.

Thanks for listening.
