The World of Myth Bits #389 - The Business Behind the Myth

Tim sits down with David K. Montoya for a candid look at the business behind independent publishing and the challenges facing micropublishers in 2026. They discuss the rise of self-publishing, how different generations approach creativity, the growing influence of AI, what success really means for a small publisher, and why adapting to a changing industry has become essential. Dave also talks about two new books coming from James Rumpel and Lisa H. Owens and closes with a call to creatives to do more than create: support one another, share the work, help it find readers, and give something back to the community that gives their work a platform.
