Self-Publishing, Review Scams and Van Life | Christian Austin

Christian Austin is an author, musician and criminologist who spent years of his life incarcerated and addicted to drugs. His memoir, which took over five years to write, is an inspiring story of resilience and survival. We explore these themes as well as the universal challenges that new authors face, including connecting with an audience, common review scams, finding ARC readers and narrating your own audiobook. We also discuss finding meaning in life and the unique challenges and freedoms associated with living in a vehicle.Listen to Christian's story in more detail here, follow him on Facebook and find his memoir on Amazon.Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Talking Ass⁠⁠⁠⁠ on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Music⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠or whatever platform you fancy and send your hate mail to [email protected] or get in touch through the website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠talkingasspodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.For exceptional website building, SEO and incorporation services, visit ⁠our sponsor ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Evue - Superior Web Solutions⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.KeywordsChristian Austin, book publishing, self-publishing, resilience, survival, public speaking, audiobook, feedback, rediscovering passions, van life, stealth camping, commuting, alternative living, social media promotion, economic disparities, prisons, writing, Cambridge University, camper van
