Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors!
In this episode I talk with New Zealand author and Ages of Pages book fair coordinator, Johanna M. Rae, about going Indie and selling locally.
Other topics we discuss include:
· Why Johanna left traditional publishing for Indie publishing.
· Why developing your author platform is so important, particularly if you live in a small country.
· How to establish a reader following and author platform before you’re published.
· How to connect with readers at book events, even when you’re an introvert.
· The essential four-legged writing companion every author should have!
If you’ve been on the fence about selling locally, let Johanna inspire you to step outside your comfort zone and grow your readership!
