Welcome to The Writing Coach. On this podcast, I speak with the instructors, editors, coaches, and mentors that help writers and authors create their art, build their audience, and sell their work.

In episode 17 of The Writing Coach, I speak with author, publisher and entrepreneur Tom Morkes.

Tom is CEO of Insurgent Publishing, a book publishing and marketing company that brings unconventional nonfiction to the creative outliers of the world. Tom helps people create, market, and launch 5-figure digital products from books and courses, to service-based platforms, and more.

During the interview, Tom describes:

How he transitioned from a career in the military to a career in writing and publishing;

His experimentation and success with using a pay-what-you-want pricing model;

How a visit to a conference ended up leading to the creation of one of his first books;

Growth hacking methods self-published authors need to be using;

The difference between a book launch for a small time vs. a big time author (this one might surprise you!)

and much more!
