A Survival Guide for Self-Publishing
from Bald Ambition Hosted by Mookie Spitz
You finally did it! You wrote the damn book. You self-published it. Congratulations!—now brace yourself, because nobody gives a shit. In this brutally honest episode, Mookie Spitz breaks down the gut-wrenching, ego-bruising reality of trying to market and self-promote a book in a world drowning in content and distraction. From the raw highs of cracking his own creative code and learning how to write a great novel with Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine—a sci-fi romp starring a hustler who accidentally invents a universe-hopping machine—to the obvious realization that most of his friends and family won’t even read it, Mookie tells it exactly like it is. He rants about drowning in a sea of indifference while reaching out to fellow writers and artists, blasting his novel on X. line by line, reading his entire book on podcast platforms, and dreaming of a Netflix deal... Spoiler: despite the chaos he keeps writing and ranting, because he fucking loves it! If you’ve ever thought about writing a book, if you’re lost in the grind of hawking your masterpiece to an indifferent universe, or if you just want a darkly funny, philosophical gut-check on what this insane hustle really takes, tune in.
