  • Found on a fluke and started from episode 1

    What a great podcast! As a new indie author, I appreciate that they value both authors in the traditional publishing and self publishing world…so rare. Great actionable tips. Clarity about algorithm’s, hashtags and more that I thought I knew but really didn’t. Excellent strategy and advice that is doable and not overwhelming. Short episodes I can listen to in small gaps if time. I went back and started from episode 1 and it just keeps getting better.
