13. The Future of Hybrid Publishing (with J. D. Barker, NYT & International Bestseller)
<p>I had the great pleasure of talking to <strong>J. D. Barker,</strong> NYT and international bestselling author of suspense thrillers. His first novel was self-published and sold a <strong>quarter of a million copies</strong>; he wrote the <strong>prequel to Dracula</strong> for Bram Stoker’s family using the authors own journals and story notes; and he’s had novels and concepts <strong>auctioned for Hollywood productions. </strong></p> <p>J. D. Barker's website and books: <a href="https://jdbarker.com/">https://jdbarker.com/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>I'm on a mission to help authors change their relationship to writing to bring them joy instead of stress, self-doubt, and overwhelm.

12. Everything It Takes to Self-Publish (with D. William Landsborough)
<p>I’m joined today (actually last October as you may be able to tell by the things we talk about in this podcast, as I may or may not have delayed getting this episode out for nearly half a year) by a dear friend, Doug Landsborough, author of the Shadow's Advent dark fantasy series, and we discuss everything self-publishing at length - the finances, the motivation, the social media of it all and even our own takes on the future of the publishing industry. </p> <p>Doug's books: <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/author/B07MBGYQK2">https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/author/B07MBGYQK2</a> </p> <p>Doug's website: <a href="https://www.dlandsborough.com/">https://www.dlandsborough.com/</a> </p> <p> </p> <p>I'm on a mission to help authors change their relationship to writing to bring them joy instead of stress, self-doubt, and overwhelm.
