When I attended the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo a few weeks ago I met a number of people. One of those was Aaron Navrady. Aaron grabbed my attention within a few minutes of my entry into the first of the exhibition halls. After speaking with him, I knew he would be great for the show so I invited him to talk with me for Get Published. Aaron is an illustrator, writer and graphic novelist. Today we talk about his novel The Cold Fire. It’s a great, albeit long, conversation. Because of the length, there will be no Tips and Typos section to the show today. I also wanted to share the news about Mik Murdoch: The Power Within. It […]

Get Published Episode 134 – Marguerite Kenner & Cast of Wonders Podcast
Podcasting fiction is a legitimate and effective way to get your work in front of an entirely new audience who may or may not have heard of you.

Did I forget to mention that Mark is the Director of Self-Publishing and Author Relations at Kobo? Did […]
Read moreGet Published Episode 132 – Jessub Flower Builds His Platform
I am always on the lookout to learn something new – maybe a new way to grow my author’s platform or market my books. That’s why I love talking to different authors about what they are doing. One such author is Jessub Flower who is using his debut novel, Daisy Hill to do all of those things: promote, market and try to get a publishing deal. Jessub and I talk about what he has been doing to achieve his own personal writing goals. I’ve also been giving a lot of thought to my author’s voice. I think part of that is an effort to procrastinate and not actually finish some of my writing. Regardless of the reason, I’ve heard the […]
