I haven’t talked much about my own books on this show. I lost confidence in them, and I shouldn’t have done. In this episode I talk solely about my books.

Self-Publishing in 2018 with Paul Teague
I talk with fellow self-publishing Podcaster, Paul Teague, about how things have turned out in 2017 and what we reckon will happen in 2018.
Creating a CreateSpace Paperback-Ready Word Document from Scrivener
In this episode I take you through a process I have recently worked out to almost be able to create a CreateSpace paperback-ready word document from Scrivener using it’s compile settings.

That said I quite like the fact that I have a final document which I can compile and amend as I need.

He has now moved away from the traditional model of getting funding after frustration with distributors and is now moving towards self-publishing his own films on Amazon Prime and other electronic platforms.

For eBooks, you want to […]
ISBNs – Should you use them or not?
Episode 23 I’ve been putting off talking about ISBNs and whether you should use them, mainly because I have not yet made my own mind up. In this episode I try to state the reasons for using them or not. I personally would advise using them for Paperback books, but not necessarily for eBooks. What […]
