Released on: July 24, 2024
In this episode, we talk to fantasy author, Devon Gambrell-Clark, who talks to us about setting up an author platform with outside-the-box thinking. First, she shares her strategies about how to handle the flood of information available on the internet when it comes to writing, publishing, and marketing books. From her experience of going through that complete process for her debut novel, she realized it would be helpful to have a one-stop shop of indie authors who offer services to indie authors, and thus All Call Indie was born. Her innovative thinking created a resource for anyone delving into the world of publishing while also helping to establish a network with other indie authors, which is so crucial in the self-publishing industry.
