About this listen

In this episode of Diary of Clichés, we pull back the curtain on one of the toughest questions every independent author faces: What happens when your book meets the market—and the market shrugs?

Building on the raw honesty of previous episodes, we dive into the insights behind Kay Jay's latest book, Why Is Nobody Buying My Book?

This candid conversation explores the silent battle between artistic passion and commercial reality, revealing how even great stories can struggle to find their readers.

From dissecting the crushing silence of poor sales to understanding how pricing, positioning, and reader psychology play a role, this episode is part wake-up call, part roadmap. Whether you’re an indie writer searching for answers or simply curious about the hidden challenges of self-publishing, this discussion sheds light on the real-world dynamics of the book market—and what authors can do to rise above the noise.

If you’ve ever poured your heart into a manuscript only to wonder why the world isn’t listening, this episode is for you.
