Get Published Episode 109 – Is JR Murdock a Super Genius or Merely Insane?

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

JR Murdock, who has done Unorthodox Writing Tips for the show and who also has collaborated on a couple projects with me has, what I consider to be, a crazy goal. He wants to self-publish 28 books in the next 24 months. We talk about his plans and what he has learned about self-publishing.

I also have a book review of Lorina Stephens’ Historical Fiction Novel, Shadow Song.

That’s today’s episode, but before we get started I wanted to mention that I will be at Balticon this year from May 24^th to 27^th. If you are also going to attend, please look me up and say ‘hello’.

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

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 98 – JW Schnarr Talks Horror

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The holiday season is upon us and for some that means stress. For me, stress really starts to show up around deadline time. If I have properly scheduled myself, no stress. If I have too much going on, proper scheduling goes out the window.

This episode I talk about how goals should help you reduce that stress if done properly.

I also have Bill Schnarr on the show. Bill is an award winning journalist, horror author, editor and publisher. We had a really great conversation that I’m pleased to share with you today.

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