Want insight from the other side? (The traditional publishing side?) In this episode, we have it.   

Rod R. Garcia has worked in Hollywood as a literary/talent agent and also owned his own literary agency (Savant Literary). In 2013, Rod sold his first manuscript — a vampire novel — to a publishing house, but the experience was a bad one. He avoided writing for 8 years, but has recently come back and, with the help of his wife, established his own publishing company.   

In 2016, he established EpiphanyMill LLC, a traditional publishing company that publishes his works, as well as the fiction works of others. Rod has four young adult novels — the first, indGame, was recently released globally, with many others in the pipeline.  

(And when we say "many others," we mean it; Rod has 85 [ yes, 85! ] in the works.)   

Rod's work can be found on Amazon.
