I don’t have the answer to that question. But I have found a hundred or so authors are interested in finding an answer. And that’s really the key: an answer, because surely there isn’t a single answer. Check out this video of Tim O’Reilly provided by the fine folks at The Open Publishing Lab at [...]
Last week, authors Seth Harwood and Scott Sigler showed just how helpful they can be. Both are successful podcast novelists, with both having landed publishing deals after making serialized free audioboook versions of their work available to the masses.
