Askalli: Self-publishing Advice Podcast

In this month's Advanced Self-Publishing Salon from the Alliance of Independent Authors, Orna Ross and Joanna Penn discuss publishing in different genres. Topics discussed this week include Orna talks about the "waves of concern" over Amazon reviews, rank stripping, and book stuffing. ALLi is having private and public meetings with Amazon officials to get to the bottom of the issues. Update on Joanna Penn's many projects, including ebook, print book, audiobook, workbook, and multimedia course … all at the same time. And she is 7,000 words into her next thriller. Orna launches a Patreon page for her poetry and is writing a book on how to write Haiku News update on Donadio & Olson literary agency embezzlement, bringing up the question: Do you really need an agent? Do authors need to pay attention to the business side? What's going on with Amazon reviews? Putting it in perspective, most ALLi members are very happy with Amazon's review system. Joanna and Orna describe the multiple genres in which they write.
