Let's Talk Indie Publishing with Nicole Pierman

I recently had the fantastic opportunity to join Nicole Pierman on her YouTube channel, Nicole’s Bookish Nook, for a deep dive into my journey as an indie author. For those who missed the livestream, here’s a rundown of what we discussed!

Our chat began with a fun little icebreaker where we both tried to recall how and where we first stumbled upon each other’s work. It turns out, it was a mix of Goodreads, Facebook, and YouTube, showcasing the serendipitous nature of online interactions in the literary community.

As an indie writer, I shared insights from my experience publishing my first book under my own name, The Seventh Cadence, part of The Continua Chronicles.

We also ventured into discussions about the challenges and financial realities of being an indie author. Cover design, particularly for fantasy genres, involves heavy investment.

Nicole and I explored the broader implications of indie publishing, including the necessity of engaging with readers and the importance of merchandising and special editions to keep the series alive in readers' minds.

For anyone curious about the indie publishing path or already walking it, our conversation underscored the importance of passion for the craft, strategic planning, and sometimes, just the pure fun of bringing your creations to life in unconventional ways.
