Reginald the Vampire: After Sunrise

It's Like The Self Publishing Podcast All Over Again

Missing SPP? Sean, Dave, and I will be recording a LIVE “reunion episode” of The Self Publishing Podcast at 3pm Central time on Friday, August 1st [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqLXlxpz1B8]. We’re recording live just like in the old days, at the old time, and will be doing all the original “SPP stuff” (Dave sound bites, anyone?) to maximally stoke all the nostalgic feels. Join us on YouTube, participate in the comments, and bring your old-school! LET’S HAVE SOME FUN AGAIN! Click here to join us live at 3pm this Friday [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqLXlxpz1B8] (or, if you’re seeing this too late, to watch the reunion show after the fact). The Artisan Author Kickstarter campaign (and the going-to-be-full-of-old-school-fun-energy “Artisan University” that’s part of it) that we talk about in this chat is live now. Check it out here before it closes for good [https://johnnybtruant.com/artisan]. This was a super fun discussion. If you were a listener of the old Self Publishing Podcast, my chat with fellow co-host Sean Platt and I will give you all the nostalgia feels. If you weren’t, though, there are worse ways to learn about self publishing than this discussion between two O.Gs who’ve seen it all. In this chat, Sean and I talk about what used to work in publishing, what works now, and what’s bound to stop working soon. Will you be one of the authors who adapts and survives, or will you flame out? You can watch the video if you’d like, but I’ve also included an audio-only version below if that suits you better: If you want to make money as an author by writing what you want on your own schedule rather than playing the high-stress game of Rapid Release, check out the Kickstarter campaign for my new book, [https://johnnybtruant.com/artisan]The Artisan Author [https://johnnybtruant.com/artisan]. It’s live right now. We got into writing because we love writing. The Artisan Author is a way to succeed and thrive on your own terms … a way to love writing again. This is a public episode.
