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.

I have the great privilege of following a lot of very creative, smart people on Twitter. Those people often have very good advice and blog posts on a regular basis and it (finally) occurred to me that I should be sharing their wisdom. So, I will be putting a post out every week of the things I’ve seen that I think are useful. Keep in mind, these are simply some of the things I’ve seen over the past few days. I’m sure there are plenty of things I’ve missed. Let me know if I should keep this up.

I had the opportunity to talk with Author, Freelance Editor and Literary Agency Intern CA (Cassandra) Marshall. We talked about the importance of agents to authors and a few other things too. It was a great conversation that I’m sure you’ll enjoy.

I didn’t get any questions or feedback for this episode so I thought it would be nice to give you all a view of my own personal plan to publication. I talk about my four main tactics and the success I’ve had so far.

Thanks for listening.
