This is a podcast that talks about writing, but today we're going to turn that order around

If you want to get your work out there, you don't have to wait for a publishing deal and

people who access the internet.

Some authors have had great success podcasting their work.

Author J.C. Hutchinson's free podcast novels landed him a publishing deal with St.

And you may have heard me talk about Scott Sigler, who podcasted his way to a five book
