{EP. 2} Traditional vs. Indie Publishing for First-Time Authors

March 02, 2021 • K.T. Anglehart & Genevieve Methot • Season 1 • Episode 2

In our second episode, Katrina gives us the low-down on self-publishing for fantasy writers and Genny maintains her cheerleader status for traditional publishing. We go through the pros and cons of both forms of publishing, and Katrina waits patiently for Genny to finish singing.

Also, when discussing the film adaptation of The Martian by Andy Weir, we get a little too flustered about Matt Damon.

Here’s a spoiler: Whichever way you decide to publish your book, perseverance and dedication are key. Never give up, never surrender!

DISCLAIMER: The audio still isn't flawless at this point...but we're nearly pros by episode 3, so bear with us!
