To celebrate the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022, the guys take a moment to reflect on their first year as a publisher and a podcast, talk about what they've learned and what goals they still hope to meet, and discuss how publishing differs from the craft of writing. In particular, they discuss finding that balance of being a profitable business and still paying authors what they're worth. Check out this heart-warming, enlightened (and still humorous) episode from Jeremy, Trevor, and Curtis as you celebrate the new year.  Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/sley-house-publishing-presents-litbits. https://plus.acast.com/s/sley-house-publishing-presents-litbits.
