August 06, 2023 #228 – Strange Sense of Ennui
Welcome to 2023! Join as Jerry and Rich talk about writing (and sometimes their lack of it), and their publishing hopes. They talk about getting into our first revisions, going down the rabbit hole of voice AI, and speak on any other random thing that pops into their head.
If you're an existing author or are writing your first book, come and listen to us because we were in the same boat as you. We've made mistakes, so you don't have to! Come hear about our successes and our mistakes, and find out where we spend money and where we shouldn't have spent money. We'll tell you everything we did to be successful (or fail...as the case may be). And you'll hear a pleasant conversation about getting into our first revisions, going down the rabbit hole of voice AI, marketing tools and how to gain newsletter subscribers.
