Substack has options to list your books that are for sale and links to your podcast. It's a website for writers. Especially writers doing their own marketing.

Why did I turn down a songwriter showcase because it was unpaid and then turn around and play four free gigs? Why did I turn down a songwriter showcase because it was unpaid and then turn around and play four free gigs?

Just curious where folks would like to see the Open Book event(s) for this upcoming Self Publishing month.

October is Self Publishing Month.

Should we add a songwriter section?

Should we plan for fiction and nonfiction bootcamps?

Should we add a separate workshop for podcast creation?

How about a video content creation workshop for book marketing?

Do we want programming in the afternoons, evenings, weekdays or weekends or virtual?

Should we plan events outside the capital city or keep it centralized?

Where would YOU like to see Self Publishing events?

If you started your self publishing journey today you could easily have a book out by Christmas.

Follow me for more obvious advice.

Link in the comments for a guide that gets you there faster, easier and funner.

Lots of laughs and advice for marketing your creative creations

I'm 💯 sure this new episode of Are You Mad At Me? is the best one we've ever released. Josh would NOT shut up and had so many stories about us playing music and it was the highest energy, chattiest, funnest time of all the shows we've done...like ever.

Apparently Spotify agrees.

Thanks for listening if you already have. And if you haven't, what the hell dude?

#1 podcast on marketing, self publishing (and now music too) in all of Canada.
