Indie Author Interview - Marc Avery - Crime Book - Thriller Book

from The Side Quest Book Club Podcast · host Slava & Jonathan

He stocked shelves at Barnes & Noble and kept the A-slot open for a book he hadn't sold yet.Crime thriller author Marc Avery on DISCIPLINE, ten years from first draft to physical book, and building an audience on Threads.A hundred rejections in, a bookseller told Marc to try one more time. He emailed an agent who had already turned him down years earlier, and she sold the book. He talks through what Discipline actually is under the buddy-cop surface — brotherhood, and how far you'd go for the people you love — and how the serial killer started as a side character and took over the novel. Plus why Threads is the only platform that ever worked for him, what he learned selling books out of a box at BookCon, and the RoboCop scene he rewinds every single time.MARC AVERYDiscipline: https://www.amazon.com/Discipline-Marc-Avery/dp/1957950722Follow Marc on Threads: @author_marc_avery—📺 SUBSCRIBEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/@sidequestpodcast🎧 LISTEN TO THE AUDIO VERSIONAll platforms: https://linktr.ee/asidequest🌐 JOIN THE GUILDOfficial website / Quest Log: https://www.thesidequestpodcast.com/💬 FOLLOW OUR ADVENTURESInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesidequestpodcastTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@sidequestpodcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/WAPRX9Hbq🎬 CREDITSHosts: Slava and JonathanEditing: CharacterNorth6081 — https://www.instagram.com/parasss.__Music: HoliznaCC0Distribution: Transistor.fm — https://transistor.fm/how-to-start-a-podcast/?via=slavaSide Quest Book Club is a podcast about books, the people who write them, and the tangents in between.Some links above are referral links.
