    13. The Future of Hybrid Publishing (with J. D. Barker, NYT & International Bestseller)

    I had the great pleasure of talking to J. D. Barker, NYT and international bestselling author of suspense thrillers. His first novel was self-published and sold a quarter of a million copies; he wrote the prequel to Dracula for Bram Stoker’s family using the authors own journals and story notes; and he’s had novels and concepts auctioned for Hollywood productions.

    7. Which Social Media Platform Should You Choose as a Writer or Author?

Stick around to the end of the episode to hear why social media shouldn't be your priority and what you should actually put your energy into instead.
