Their question for you is: Are you investing in your time – it’s just less than an hour each week, to learn from the publishing, marketing, publicity, fill-in-the blank masters that they bring to you? Each expert is “tops” in their consulting, advice, book production, author support—you name it field in and around all things BOOKS.

Within  the AuthorU-Your Guide to Book Publishing weekly radio podcasts delivered, you get the cream of the crop for your listening and learning pleasure. Your investment is YOUR TIME … will you?

Let’s start with a few questions:

  • Have you subscribed to the weekly AuthorU-Your Guide to Book Publishing radio show that many of the top publishing service providers sponsor?
  • Did you know that it is carried on iTunes and you can subscribe here?
  • Did you know that every week, it has new content, new topics and a different expert guest?
  • And did you know that there are no repeats of any show when I am traveling, speaking at a writer’s conference, or it’s a “holiday”? All I do is pre-record in advance if I can’t be in the studio during the “live” time slot.

Here are a few programs that merit your attention to either prepare you for your authoring journey; to kick start the one you are on; or to propel you to the next, next wave of publishing:

Yes, spoken words are critical … but it’s the unspoken that really has the story. As a writer, how do you show it?

The Book Shepherd Judith Briles and Book Designer Nick Zelinger (NZGraphics.com) explore the RTP—the Rush to Publish Syndrome … something that both Newbies and Oldie Authors keep falling into—this show was generated as they both shared there broadening frustration with authors—both newbies and experience who were cutting corners and creating what their experiences shouted: “OMG, it’s more publishing garbage.” Listen to podcast via @AuthorU:
