This is K.M. Wyland and you are listening to the 495 episode of the Helping Writers Become Authors Podcast.

Well, I've finally done it. I've finally switched the hosting of this podcast to the off-site hosting platform Lib Sin, which I'm actually going to talk about

a little in this episode. I had a couple reasons to switch from the hosting of the websites directly on my

site, but the main reason that might be of interest to you

is that this move should make the podcast more accessible to those of you who use a listening

device or app other than iTunes or Apple Podcast.

I've been told that the podcast was showing up for some people with Android devices,

but I've also been hearing from quite a few people who weren't finding the podcast on their preferred

listening platforms. This move should hopefully take care of that problem and

make the podcast available wherever you want to listen to it. If you do experience any changes or problems with the switch

over, please be sure to let me know. And now I hope you enjoyed this week's podcast,

About a week ago, I answered my own writing question of the day, which I post on Facebook and Twitter,

which in turn prompted a request that I discussed some of my experiences with professional writing resources.

The question of the day was, have you ever hired a professional to help you with any part of the

writing or publishing process?

To which I answered, I've hired editors, proofreaders, graphic designers,

marketers, you name it. In the earlier years of my career as a full-time writer, I tried

just about any service or product that came down the line. On some of my books I went the full-blown try-everything route. But these days I've gotten better at knowing what is most useful, time effective, and cost effective for me.
