Scott, Terry, Justin, and Paul welcome special guest Josh Unruh, marketing director for Draft2Digital.com and author of trope bending stories.

Justin, Scott, Terry, and Paul discuss when to abandon a series and our experiences with various distribution channels. Oh yes, it's a LONG one.

Justin, Terry, Paul, and Scott discuss prioritizing your works between the commercial and the niche. Also, we talk about the Hugo Awards and Sad Puppies, Justin's inability to sing, the sweetness of the mute button, and Harper Collins threatening to leave Amazon. It's a monster of an episode. Enjoy. ps: due to a failed attempt to mute my mic, there is some crackling of paper. My apologies.
