Get Published Episode 87 – Brand Gamblin Talks Self Publishing

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

Today’s episode is a bit of a departure for Get Published. Ordinarily, you will hear promos from various people or podcasts. You will get a Tips and Typos section about a topic and finally an interview with one of my special guests.

You will still be getting all of those things, but today, they will all be related to Brand Gamblin. For those of you who do not know Brand, he is a self-published author of three novels currently, some of which are podcast. He also has several short stories published.

Why am I dedicating an episode to Brand? I guess my best answer is “Why not?” He has a number of great things to say and talks at length about self-publishing. A topic that I know is of interest to many people.

I also will have a book review of his first novel, “Tumbler”. Brand is a great writer and an even nicer guy. I am very happy to have him on the show.

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

Get Published Episode 58 – Scott Roche, Editor & Self-Published Author

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Hello, my friends.

As you may know I’m self publishing a book in the coming weeks. I’ve heard from some of you looking for more information on self publishing so I’ve made a point to have more guests who have self publishing experience. This episode I will continue in that vein with a great interview with Scott Roche. Scott is one of the editors with Flying Island Press and has come out with a self published version of his book Ginny Dare, Crimson Sand in both paper and eBook formats.

I’ve also had a question come up on both Twitter and my blog from two difference people. That makes it too timely to ignore, so in today’s tips and typos section I try to answer the question, “when do you know it’s time to stop revising your story?”

One last note; I’ve dropped the bit rate of the podcast from 128 Kb to 64 Kb to make the mp3 smaller and faster to download. Please let me know if you notice any real difference. I’ve been wondering for a while if the file size of the show was too big for you listeners and I wanted to do a little experiment here.

Enjoy the show.
