Self-Publishing Roundtable

NANOWRIMO is only a few days away. Are you participating? Getting that world ready? Have your outline ready to go? On tonight’s show we have Chrishaun Keller Hanna to help you get everything in line and share how she builds worlds. Join us for an interesting conversation about the craft at 7 PST/10 EST.

Hey folks! This week on the Self Publishing Roundtable we welcome back friend of the podcast and the indie community, author and entrepreneur Bryan Cohen! Bryan is the author of Ted Saves The World series as well as several non-fiction books on subjects like word prompts and creative writing. His website Build Creative Writing Ideas helps people to get over writer’s block and come up with new creative projects. He is also the co-host of the popular Sell More Books Show, where he and author Jim Kukral of Author Marketing Club give us weekly updates on new and different ways to market yourself and your catalog. Bryan's newest venture is a program called 'Selling For Authors', a 12 module course designed specifically to educate indie entrepreneurs in the ways of copywriting, blurb writing, and all the little things that you should have set in place in order to promote click-ability and ease-ability. Come chat with us live at the usual time of Thursday at 7pm PST/10 pm EST, and join in on the conversation!

Hey folks! We're back this week with an another all new live episode of the Self Publishing Roundtable. Join in this Thursday as Wade, Xavier and Liam welcome Erica Conroy to the panel, who will be filling in for Michelle while she is away, as well as special returning guest, John L. Monk, author of the Jenkins Cycle Series. We had John on the show back in July, but unfortunately Wade was out of the picture that week. So, we decided to invite John back, and we're all looking forward to the discussion! Check out John's books, as well as his 'Awesome Indies Project' over at his website: http://john-l-monk.com/ Listen in on Thursday November 12th at 7pm PST/ 10pm EST and join in on the conversation in the chat below!

There are those moments in a career where the stars align and you note a jump forward. A friend of the podcast, indie-author Garrett Robinson has recently experienced such a moment and we asked him to share what that experience with our audience. On top of that, Garrett has overall strength in planning and we wanted to pick his brain and find out his thoughts on how to plan out your writing career from scratch. You can find more about Garret at his website: http://garrettbrobinson.com/ And you can find his books HERE!

Hey folks! This week on the Self Publishing Roundtable we're doing something extra special for all those live listeners who aren't too busy gobbling down turkey, mashed taters and all the other fixings that go into yer' USA Thanksgiving 4-Day Weekend Extravaganza. As an extra special experiment, those here on the Roundtable who currently aren’t munching down on the aforementioned taters and turkeys, a.ka. Erica Conroy and Xavier Granville, are--along with your help--going to be brainstorming the characters and plot for a short fiction. Using currently hot-ranking Amazon genres and categories, we’re going to take the characters and plots that you and us come up with, and from there, write stories that will we later on publish and post updates on in the SPRT blog. We might also post video on book cover design as well--but only if you’re very good! (a.k.a. beg either Xavier or Erica about it...well, you don’t have to beg; ask nicely?) So come help us create two unique stories for two very different genres using the same plot and characters as our starting point.   If you've decided to join in and write with us, here are the details:   Genre: Romance and/or Mystery Wordcount: Aim for 10,000 words Deadline: 31 January 2016 Settings / inclusions: Flooded basement Insurance salesman FMC - Female Main Character (include two of the following): Former bike bouncer Bike mechanic Prone to acting before thinking Addictive personality Afraid of death MMC - Male Main Character: Anything goes!
