They Support and are sponsored by Predatory companies.
Hello, I am just a little shocked that there is no accountability with an organization that claims to support authors. I paid for their membership and I believed I could trust their watchdog list, but was taken advantage of one of their highly rated members/partners/sponsors. Gatekeeper Press is one of this podcasts sponsors and in their ad even promises 100% satisfaction. There is nothing stating that if you are not satisfied they will force you to sign an NDA before offering any solutions. The... more

Inspirational Indie Author Interview #197: S. J. Barratt Draws Inspiration From Scotland's Wild Beauty to Create Eco-Adventures for Young Readers

Q: What advice would you give to other indie authors hoping to make an impact on young readers?

As much as possible connect with the audience, because we have to rely so much on adults to validate our work.

Inspirational Indie Author Interview #196: Lynne Golodner — Former Journalist Weaves Jewish Identity into Her Fiction and Finds Freedom as an Indie Author

Q: What are some of the biggest challenges you see writers facing today and how do you help them?

The biggest challenge is self-belief, especially among women who may have been told writing wasn't a serious pursuit. I focus on helping them recognize the value of their voices and craft.

Inspirational Indie Author Interview #196: Lynne Golodner — Former Journalist Weaves Jewish Identity into Her Fiction and Finds Freedom as an Indie Author

Q: How did you find the transition between a journalistic way of telling a story and telling it in long form in a book?

There wasn't much adjustment as I already mapped out and outlined my larger pieces. The leap was from nonfiction to creating fiction entirely from scratch, which required patience and trust.

Interview: How Role-Playing Games Blend Literature, Ethics, and Imagination with Anna Featherstone, Vee Hendro, and Hayley Gordon

Q: Have you ever been approached by authors to develop games based on their books?

Not yet, but it's possible and could serve as a great marketing tool for authors.

Interview: How Role-Playing Games Blend Literature, Ethics, and Imagination with Anna Featherstone, Vee Hendro, and Hayley Gordon

Q: Can you explain a little bit for people like me who maybe back in the day played one of those murder card games, what are role-player games?

Role-playing games involve sitting down with friends to tell a story together, using rules and formats provided by the game to guide the narrative.
