Episode 286 – Brainstorming The Bastard
Episode 285 – An Argument For Self-Publishing
This week the Robots sit down to chat about the publishing industry, and more specifically self-publishing. A great deal has changed in the past few years, and the gatekeepers are nearly out of a job. Let us know what you think? Enjoy!
Items mentioned during the show:
The Magic Spreadsheet (used by Mur Lafferty and many other writers)
The Arcane Society Files
The Business Rusch: A Career Versus Publication
Episode 251 – Serial Fiction With No Added Sugar
This week the Robots have a good old fashion roundtable discussion about serializing fiction. Why would you, what do you have to gain, and what are some tips on doing it right? Listen and enjoy!
Here are three erotica serialized story authors Terry wanted to make sure people could check out to see how it’s done.
Also, don’t forget that our new book review is “14” by Peter Clines. On Kindle it’s available for $2.99! Well worth it.
Episode 242 – Nobilis Chats Reviews
This week Justin and Paul are joined by Nobilis Reed to discuss reviews. They are crucial to getting attention and hopefully sales, but how do you get them, and are all reviews equal? We hope you enjoy!
Library Thing was mentioned on the show. It is a site similar to GoodReeds.
This week’s promo – Kayla Curry’s “Obsidian: Mystic Stones Series #1”
Episode 240 – Reviewing All Fast And Fury
Justin’s back! This week we review David Weber’s IN FURY BORN, talking about what we liked and didn’t, as well as what we learned about the craft of writing through reading it. We hope you enjoy!
And with that book down, we have a new one up to read and review? This time it’s Paul’s pick, and not surprisingly he has gone with a horror title. We’re going to give Terry another try and liking Stephen King, so the next book we’ll discuss is his second book, SALEM’S LOT. Read and review along with us!
