Killer Prose is the podcast dedicated to the art and busness of indie horror writing, hosted by author/voice actor Tanner Rutledge. Join Tanner as he delves into the secrets of suspenseful storytelling, featuring interviews with authors, editors, and publishers who specialize in keeping readers on the edge of their seats.
In today's episode, I talk about my plans for distribution and my thought process for choosing between being exclusive to KU or Going wide with my Ebooks. I also update you on the progress with Dangerous Whispers as we approach launch date.
