Happy New Year!

We're starting 2024 with a bang, and digging right into our first guest interview with the Voice of Indie Publishing, Kevin Tumlinson.

Our conversation wheels through the valleys and peaks of a writer's life, from childhood tales etched in crayon, to overcoming self-limiting beliefs, to live blogging his story as its being written, Kevin has experienced it all. We even discuss the seismic shift from traditional to indie publishing, and the value of developing reader engagement through direct sales and subscription services.

Kevin Tumlinson is an award-winning and bestselling author of hundreds of books crafted to thrill and inspire. He recently took on the role of CEO for BookSweeps, a pioneer of the genre specific list building giveaway, and the most successful platform building tool for authors and publishers worldwide. Kevin is known as the Voice of Indie Publishing for his work in podcasts, conferences, public speaking, and consulting for authors. Every day he helps and encourages hundreds of thousands of will-be and established authors around the globe.
