    The Artisan Author Meets the Artisan Podcaster

    The Self-Publishing Podcast gang (David Wright, Sean Platt, Johnny B. Truant) is back together for a very special episode of Write Publish Repeat! Today they're talking about Johnny’s recent appearance at Author Nation where he gave a talk about being an Artisan Author. The main premise of Artisan Authorship is a rebuttal to the rapid release formula, which wasn’t Johnny’s thing – despite his legendary ability to write super fast and well. Johnny wanted to slow things down and is now spending more time in post-production on special editions, promotion, and direct reader interactions. In this episode, Dave and Sean talk to Johnny about why he now approaches writing this way, and what the Artisan Author style means for someone who used to routinely write anywhere from 6k to 10k words per day!

    4: Author Nation Reflections

    In this fourth episode of Write, Publish, Repeat, Sean Platt returns to the show and gives us the scoop on Author Nation, one of the largest author events of the year held in the hell hole known as Las Vegas, Nevada. Sean shares his experience and insights from the conference, highlighting discussions on AI's role in writing, the importance of collaboration, and strategies for direct sales and funnel design in publishing. The episode also delves into mystery box storytelling (think JJ Abrams, not Gwyneth Paltrow), the evolution of author events, and the impact of AI on the creative and publishing industries. There's also the guest appearance of a knife or two. You have been warned.
