Slow + Steady: Scott Semegran on his 25 year indie journey
IR’s second AUTHOR 2 AUTHOR post stars multi-hyphenate author (novels, short-stories and comic books) Scott Semegran. Scott shares his (almost) 25 year journey from early indie (1995) to over 35,000 books sold (to-date!) in 2017.
IndieReader (IR): When did you start writing?
Scott Semegran (SS): I began writing in 1993, the week after graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in English.
