Moxie Press is an indie publisher on a mission to shake things up. Every episode can delve
into any number of topics: Interviews with other indie artists and writers, discussions about our books, and even deep dives into the news of the day and how it relates to our progressive leftist values.
Today, Andrew and Jessie explain themselves (mainly why there isn't an Author Spotlight podcast, etc.) Don't worry, everything is great, we're just slowing things down a bit and re-calibrating because big things are ahead for both the business and our family.

Mark Salzwedel: Writer, Composer, Everything Else
We're kind of jealous of Mark Salzwedel. He's an incredible writer, a composer, an artist who grew up with an artistic childhood, and much more. As our first spotlight of 2025, he's the writer of a lovely little short sci-fi piece titled An Unexpected Cookie, of which you can hear him read an excerpt in this episode.
Follow Mark in all the places and keep an eye out for his upcoming book, Time Bump.
