New Author Spotlights

Your response to our podcast has been astounding, so we decided to run a special Spotlight series between our regularly scheduled seasons! In these Spotlight episodes, we interview six acclaimed independent publishers who share their advice on what has and hasn't worked for them. Their stories are fascinating and the tips worthwhile! Be sure to tune in from our website or from your favorite podcast platform (just look for Go Publish Yourself: An IngramSpark Podcast).
