Day 32 -Indie Publishing Info

Making this a short one today, because I have work to do and beer to consume. Still getting writing time in every single day. This makes 32 days in a row that I’ve written or edited on Decayed. Feels good.


If you’re interested in indie publishing your work like I do, or are just curious about the process, then I have a few sources you should check out.


J.A. Konrath’s blog. I think it used to be called A Newbie’s Guide to Publishing, but I might be mistaken. Maybe I should skip the beer more often. Konrath’s blog was instrumental in getting me into the writing business. While I was wandering aimlessly through the waters of unemployment when I quit my government job several years ago, I stumbled upon Konrath. His early stuff on the site went into detail about his writing, promotion, publishing, and everything else. Even though some of the promotional info is dated, the theory behind most of it is still valid. There are hundreds of posts to read through. It looks like he recently resumed blogging after a long hiatus (that makes two of us), so I’m sure he’ll drop many more pearls of wisdom.


I can’t stress enough how valuable his site is, especially if you’re just getting started.


Joanna Penn runs a great website and podcast, The Creative Penn. She’s the shit. There are a lot of written guides and articles that will point you in the right direction. Her podcast is killer. The guests she gets know their stuff and always give out plenty of valuable info. When people ask me how to get started, her site is the first thing I direct them to.


Writer’s Cafe on Kboards is a great resource. There are a lot of authors on there who are very helpful. Many of them are on the bleeding edge of the genre when it comes to promotions. Watch out for a handful of asshole posters on there, however. The only time I’ve received negative review bombs happened when my name was mentioned on that board. I don’t post there for a reason.


Still an incredible wealth of information though.


David Gaughran knows his stuff. Go to his site. Buy his books. You’ll thank me later. He’s a true gem in the field.


Sterling and Stone, or whatever the hell they’re called now, have hundreds of podcast episodes that are worth your time. I used to listen to their Self-Publishing Podcast religiously. Their new one appears to be The Story Studio Podcast. Though I haven’t listened to it, I’m sure it’s worth your time. These guys have an unimaginable work ethic.


Armand Rosamilia’s podcast, Armcast Podcast, is chock full of great author guests. You might recognize someone who made an appearance on there. This one isn’t necessarily a great source of indie pubbing info, but you get to hear from a lot of different authors. Good stuff.


I’m sure I’ve missed a ton of good resources here. Let me know what I should check out.


Today, I edited two more chapters in Decayed. Finishing the book this week, come hell or high water.


See ya tomorrow.
