I moderated a panel at SXSW called The Self-Publishing Novelist, which included insights from 3 experienced experts:
- John Sundman. Read an interview with John here, Building an Enthusiastic Fan Base as a Self-Published Author.
- Carolyn McCray. Read her helpful articles over at Digital Book World, including Best Practices for Amazon E-Book Sales, How to Increase Sales by Promoting Your Backlist Titles, and The Anatomy of a Successful E-Book Giveaway
- Nicole Galland. Check out the Mongoliad Project that she's involved in.
SXSW has now made recordings of all sessions available! So you can listen to The Self-Publishing Novelist right now, where I question these 3 experts on current trends and what it takes to be successful with digital publishing.
