Please note that I'm not currently accepting pitches for The Indy Author Podcast (and likely won't be through 2026). When/if I open up to pitches again, I would be looking for guests who have demonstrated expertise in a particular aspect of the writing craft or the publishing process beyond their own books as demonstrated by books, articles, webinars, workshops, classes, etc., on that topic. Thank you!
