Hello everyone. I’m delighted to bring you another Balticant panel discussion. This time, the panel was talking about using Podcasts as Promotional Tools. The panel was VERY long and so, to avoid making the episode too long, you will only have the intro, the panel discussion and the outro. It was a great discussion that I hope you will enjoy. Thank you for listening.

Why Publishing is Slow: the Experience
As you probably know, I’ve been working towards the goal of getting published for several years now. Last year I had some success with my short stories, managing to get three of them accepted by various e-magazines and digital sites. That success only encouraged me to work harder to get my books in front of publishers to try and get them published as well.

Hello Everyone and welcome to Get Published. I’m very excited to have today’s guest on the show.

I also received a question from @K_A_Dewberry on Twitter that I discuss in the “Tips and Typos” section. It’s a question I get a lot. Namely, “when should I start building my platform”. I also wanted to give you all an update on my book’s progress. As you […]
