The trad publishing industry continues to struggle, and Ads for Authors closes tonight.
The paradigm shifts in publishing have opened doors for authors. And sometimes caused challenges for those authors who have lost rights to a trad publisher and now want them back. Orna Ross, Founder and Director of the Alliance of Independent Authors, talks to James about these issues, how authors can approach getting lost rights back, what it takes to sell rights in foreign territories, and what to be aware of when doing so.
Nick Stephenson talks to James about the value in author collaboration and how even introverted authors can go about building relationships with the aim of growing their audience and widening the reach of their books.
If you’re an author that wants to write across genres but worry about the impact that approach might have on financial returns, you’ll want to listen to this week’s guest, bestselling author Mel Sherratt, who’s achieved in excess of one million sales with a cross-genre back catalogue.
Author Suzy K. Quinn has travelled a similar road to Mark Dawson’s – going from being a traditionally published writer to becoming an independent author with more control over her books and marketing. Not to mention a larger slice of the financial pie.
