The Wordslinger Podcast

A WORDSLINGER 10-SHOT

Hate marketing your books? You’re probably thinking about marketing the wrong way.

A lot of writers hear “book marketing” and immediately think about running ads, posting constantly on social media, chasing TikTok trends, finding reviewers, testing campaigns, and spending money they may never earn back. No wonder authors get exhausted.

But marketing doesn’t have to mean any of that.

In this Wordslinger 10-Shot, I talk about a simpler way to think about marketing: reaching the right reader at the moment they’re most ready to discover your work. That can mean email. It can mean social media. It can mean a local book signing, a farmers market, your library, or simply asking your existing readers to tell someone else about your books.

If you wrote something you believe matters, then part of the job is helping people find it.

00:00 Can I just write my books?
00:37 Why authors feel buried by marketing
01:11 What writers usually mean by “marketing”
02:02 What marketing actually is
03:16 Why your email list matters so much
04:04 Start local and find readers nearby
04:51 Creative ways to sell books in your community

A WORDSLINGER PODCAST

How do you keep multiple writing projects moving without losing momentum—or your mind?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the systems I use to manage several creative projects at once, including nonfiction, historical fiction, novels, short stories, YouTube, research, and everything else competing for attention.

The key isn’t working harder. It’s building systems that reduce friction and make it easier to sit down, do the work, and keep moving.

I talk about how I break larger books into manageable daily pieces, why historical fiction requires a different approach to outlining, how I’m experimenting with short fiction as part of my publishing strategy, and why reading, journaling, notebooks, reminders, and even AI have become important parts of my creative workflow.

If you’re a writer, creator, or creative entrepreneur trying to balance multiple projects while still producing meaningful work, this episode is for you.

A WORDSLINGER 10-SHOT

Way too busy for writing?

Travel, work, family, deadlines, vacations, and plain old life can wreck even the best writing routine. But staying productive doesn’t always mean forcing yourself to sit down for a full writing session every single day.

In this Wordslinger 10-Shot, I share some of the ways I keep my writing moving even when I’m traveling or my normal routine gets disrupted. That might mean getting up early, writing ahead, shifting from drafting to outlining or editing, carrying portable writing tools, or taking advantage of those little gaps in the day that would otherwise disappear.

The important thing is forward progress.

But there’s another side to this: Don’t let the writing interfere with the living. Your life is where the material comes from. Sometimes taking the trip, enjoying the moment, and looking up from the screen is exactly what your writing needs.

A WORDSLINGER 10-SHOT

How do you actually find beta readers for your book?

In this Wordslinger 10-Shot, I break down the practical ways I’ve built a beta reader and street team over the years—from starting with friends and family, to recruiting readers who already send useful feedback, to finding potential beta readers in reader and writer communities.

But finding them is only half the job. You also need to give your beta readers clear expectations: what kind of feedback you need, how you want them to report errors, what they should and shouldn’t do with the manuscript, and when you need their notes back.

A good beta reader can help you catch typos, continuity problems, logic issues, and those little things that might knock a reader out of the story. And the big secret to building a reliable team is simpler than most writers think: ask.

If you’re writing, publishing, or building a career as an independent author, subscribe to Wordslinger. This channel is here to give writers practical, experience-based guidance for every stage of the writing and publishing journey.

A WORDSLINGER 10-SHOT

AI isn’t going to replace you.

At least, not if you’re doing the part of writing that actually matters.

In this Wordslinger 10-Shot, Kevin Tumlinson talks about the fear that AI will replace writers, artists, and other creative professionals—and why he thinks that fear is aimed at the wrong target.

Yes, AI may replace some types of high-volume, formula-driven content. But real creative work comes from human experience, judgment, emotion, taste, perspective, and the strange synthesis of ideas that happens inside an actual human life.

AI can assist you. It can help with research, brainstorming, proofreading, editing, and expanding ideas. It can act as a production tool. But it cannot live your life, carry your memories, or bring your particular perspective to the page.

The writers who thrive in the years ahead may not be the ones who fight AI the hardest. They may be the ones who learn how to use it without surrendering the human part of the work.

So the question isn’t whether AI can write.

The question is: What can you bring to the page that AI never can?

A WORDSLINGER STORY CUT

Can a novel keep you turning pages without explosions, car chases, monsters, or constant high-stakes action?

Theo of Golden by Allen Levi proves that it can.

In this Wordslinger Story Cut, I take a storyteller’s look at one of my new favorite novels and examine why such a quiet, heartfelt story works so well. Theo arrives in the small town of Golden, Georgia, and begins purchasing hand-drawn portraits of local people, returning those portraits to their subjects and asking one simple thing in return: Tell me your story.

That deceptively simple device becomes the engine for an entire novel.

We’ll look at how attention itself can become dramatic action, how secondary characters can briefly take center stage without derailing the main story, how repetition can create anticipation instead of boredom, and how a carefully constructed mystery can keep readers moving forward even when the stakes are almost entirely emotional.

I also dig into one of the book’s potential weaknesses: Theo’s unusual ability to get strangers to reveal some of the deepest wounds of their lives. Is it realistic? Is it too sentimental? Or does the novel earn our willing suspension of disbelief through the strength of its characters and its underlying message about human connection?

And finally, we talk about one of my favorite storytelling techniques: the kind of ending that makes you look backward through the entire story and realize the clues were sitting there all along.

If you love great novels, movies, television, streaming shows, and conversations about what makes stories actually work, this episode is for you.

A WORDSLINGER PODCAST

If you want people to read your books, buy your books, and help you build a sustainable writing career, then you’re already in business—whether you like that idea or not.

In this episode of the Wordslinger Podcast, I talk about why writers need to start thinking like entrepreneurs, what marketing really means, and why building your own platform matters more than chasing individual book sales.

We get into mailing lists, reader ownership, Amazon exclusivity versus wide distribution, advertising, lead magnets, local marketing, the power of asking, and why your long-term goal should be to build an audience you can actually reach without depending entirely on Amazon, Facebook, YouTube, or anyone else’s algorithm.

If you’ve ever said, “I just want to write,” but you also want readers, income, and a real career from your work, this episode is for you.

A WORDSLINGER 10-SHOT

Do indie authors really need to buy their own ISBNs? For most self-published authors, the answer is probably no.

In this episode, J. Kevin Tumlinson breaks down the real differences between purchasing your own ISBN and using a free ISBN from services such as Draft2Digital or Amazon. We’ll look at what “publisher of record” actually means, whether an ISBN affects copyright or ownership, how ISBNs work across paperback, hardcover, ebook, and audiobook editions, and when paying for your own ISBN might actually make sense.

If you’re building an indie publishing career, trying to control costs, or wondering whether owning your ISBN gives you some hidden advantage, this episode will help you make a smarter decision.

A WORDSLINGER 10-SHOT

What’s the best way for an indie author to distribute their books?

In this Wordslinger 10-Shot, I break down the book distribution strategy I actually use—including why I go direct to Amazon and Kobo, use Draft2Digital to reach Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, libraries, and thousands of other outlets, and maintain my own direct storefront.

We’ll also talk about KDP Select and Kindle Unlimited, the tradeoffs of Amazon exclusivity, the advantages of going wide, why I prefer having access to readers across multiple platforms, and how indie authors can build a simple distribution system without making things unnecessarily complicated.

There are plenty of ways to distribute a book. This isn’t the only way. It’s the system that works for me after years of publishing books and working professionally in the indie publishing industry.

If you’re an author trying to decide between Amazon exclusivity, wide distribution, Draft2Digital, Kobo, direct sales, or some combination of all of them, this episode should help you think through your options.

00:00 How I distribute my books
00:59 Why indie authors need a distribution strategy
01:57 Using Draft2Digital to go wide
03:01 Why I use D2D for some retailers but not others

A WORDSLINGER 10-SHOT

Is AI really the reason your books aren’t selling?

Writers have plenty of legitimate reasons to be concerned about artificial intelligence, AI-generated books, changing algorithms, publishing platforms, and an increasingly crowded marketplace. But blaming AI for a struggling writing career won’t help you build a better one.

In this Wordslinger 10-Shot, J. Kevin Tumlinson talks about why writers should stop thinking in terms of competition and start building something far more valuable: a direct relationship with their readers.

Instead of depending entirely on Amazon, advertising platforms, algorithms, or whatever marketing tactic happens to be working this month, writers can build their own ecosystem through mailing lists, direct sales, strong reader relationships, and a platform they control.

AI may be an obstacle. But the obstacle can become the way forward.

If you’re an author, indie publisher, creator, or creative entrepreneur trying to build a sustainable career around your work, this episode is about focusing your energy on the things you can actually control.

00:00 Welcome to the Wordslinger 10-Shot
00:41 Is AI responsible for writers struggling?
01:29 Writers aren’t really competing with each other
02:31 Marketing is much bigger than advertising
03:22 Why marketing strategies stop working
03:51 Stop blaming AI for your lack of success
04:35 Quality, craft, and finding the marketing that fits you
05:43 Build your own reader ecosystem
06:44 Protect yourself from platform dependence
07:27 Build your mailing list and direct reader relationships
08:07 The obstacle is the way: turning AI into an advantage
09:16 Final thoughts and the challenge for writers
