Get Published Episode 56 – Jennifer Hudock & The Goblin Market

Posted by: Michell in Get Published (Podcast)

Happy May Day to those of you who celebrate it.

We don’t observe May Day in Canada but I still love May 1^st. It has always meant Spring to me and the beginning of great things to come. Maybe it’s because I can finally see the end of another long winter. This year it also helps highlight just how much I have going on. I guess I’d better get moving on all those projects.

Since I wanted to mark the beginning of May in style, I am delighted to have both Jenny Hudock and CA Marshall on the show.

Both are great ladies and people I highly recommend you get to know if you can.

Jenny and I talk about her first venture into self publishing with her book Goblin Market and Cassandra talks about formatting. I learned a lot from both and I know you will too.

So with that, Happy May 1^st and on with the show. Enjoy.

Get Published Episode 50 – Self Publishing Has Reached a Tipping Point Pt. 2

Episode 50 is finally here and the second part of the interview is now available. I’ve got to say, the last two years of podcasting have been wonderful. I have learned so much I know I made the right choice when I posted that first episode (even though it was pretty rough).

In this episode we, of course, get to hear the second part of Robin’s very enlightening talk about eBooks, self-publishing and online marketing. CA Marshall also spends some time educating us on editors. It’s a great show that I am so proud of for my 50th.

Enjoy.

Get Published Episode 49 – Self Publishing Has Reached a Tipping Point

We are coming up on episode 50 and I was planning on having a special interview with Robin Sullivan. Some of you may remember Robin from episode 38. Robin is the publisher for Ridan Publishing. When I first talked to Robin I knew she had a wealth of experience and knowledge to share. It wasn’t until I chatted with her via IM that I learned of her interest in self-publishing.

As I said, I had planned on interviewing her about the topic of self-publishing and how it has changed for episode 50. Except, once she started talking I realized that there was much more information than a single show could hold. So I broke up the interview into two parts. This segment will set the ground work for some of Robin’s interest and the next for episode 50 will talk more about some of the things you as a writer can do to self-publish and market your work.

I also have a book review that I’ve been meaning to do for several months. I had the chance to meet John Hemry AKA Jack Campbell at Balticon last year and I’ve wanted to review his most recent book The Lost Fleet: Victorious ever since. I finally take the time to do that.
