About this listen
After submitting his debut self-pub novel to the annual SPFBO (self published fantasy blog-off) competition and reaching the semi-finals, Alex Darwin landed himself with a "trad deal" and agent. In the months leading up to his trad re-launch, Alex applied his self-pub experience to his upcoming book launch, trying a number of different angles. Reflecting back, he shares what kind of tactics worked best to give his book the best possible chance.
Topics covered:
- Being a hybrid author
- How SPFBO works and can benefit indie authors
- Paying for publicity (via Black Crow) in the UK specifically
- Collaborative efforts with Orbit on marketing/publicity in the USA
- Book Tours (an assessment and reflection)
- Finding an angle for pubs to use
- Thinking about longterm goals
- LitRPGs and why they remain indie
- Theories about the goal of OrbitWorks (digital only imprints)
- Chatter about jujitsu and other nonsense
