Free Podcast Author Interviews

Okay ... we admit it. Panzer and I were out in the catosphere looking for some free stuff.

We found a whole treasure trove of free podcasts. There are author interviews with Scott Nicholson, Zoe Winters, Mark Coker and over a hundred more. The interviews cover publishing, books as iPhone apps, writing, editing, indie publishing, marketing, audiobooks ... everything a writer could possibly be interested in.

Tootle on over to The Creative Penn  blog. Panzer is still over there. If you see him, tell that bad boy to get home or he's going to be grounded again!

Wednesday Free Resources for Writers and Readers

On Sunday I posted about my investigation of Distribution to iTunes for a podcast of one of the stories from Panzer's ebook.

As Panzer and I continued our search for information on what others were doing with podcasts, we found three free podcast sites for your enjoyment.

1) The Creative Penn. There are over 100 free podcasts at Joanna Penn's respository. Here you'll find interviews with such writers as Zoe Winters, LJ Sellers, Scott Nicholson, and many more.

2) Free Library of Philadelphia. Here you'll find podcasts for Joyce Carol Oates, Cokie Roberts, Garrison Keillor and others who have participated in author events at the library.

3) Fluctu8 Podcasts. Here you'll find music, audiobooks, arts, cooking, just pick your subject.

Enjoy!

Is Indie Publishing Dead? Bestseller Scott Nicholson Weighs in on the Possibility

Today at Vincent Zandri's blog, Scott Nicholson posts about the changes he sees coming to the world of indie publishing.

Recently, I've been thinking along the same lines as Nicholson. For quite a while now indie writers have been blogging about how to attract ebook buyers. We talked about the best covers, the best price points, and what worked for us. We've done it so much that agents have taken notice. They've started moving over into indie publishing territory.

Guess what?

How much longer do you think it will be before the Big 6 follow suit? Once they do,  it won't be indie publishing as we know it anymore.
