TOPICS
I love talking about any topic related to the writing craft and the publishing voyage! Some areas of specialty are ...
Podcasting for Authors - Based on information shared in my book The Indy Author's Guide to Podcasting for Authors, I address what writers can (and can't) gain from this intimate form of outreach--both through launching their own podcast and through being a guest on others' podcasts. I offer a step-by-step guide for navigating the podcasting voyage, from the most strategic considerations to the most tactical. You can see some of the venues where I have discussed this topic, including the 2022 Writer's Digest Annual Conference in NYC, here: https://www.theindyauthor.com/podcasting-for-authors.html
Using Short Fiction to Create Income and Connect with Readers - Based on information shared in my book Taking the Short Tack: Creating Income and Connecting with Readers Using Short Fiction, which I co-authored with Mark Leslie Lefebvre, I discuss the opportunities that short fiction offers writers through the traditional short fiction market; via the ever-expanding pool of non-traditional options, such as audio; and how writers who are willing to act as their own gatekeepers can use the tools of independent publishing to get their work into readers' hands. You can see some of the venues where I have discussed this topic, including Joanna Penn's The Creative Penn Podcast, here: https://www.theindyauthor.com/short-fiction.html
Creating a Story Frame - Expanding on my Writer's Digest article, and using the metaphor of a boat frame, I discuss how writers can build their story more efficiently, and provide their reader "passengers" with a water-tight story, using a frame. I also discuss how a frame differs from an outline, and how it can morph seamlessly into manuscript. You can see some of the venues where I have discussed this topic here: https://www.theindyauthor.com/creating-a-story-frame.html
Indy Publishing in a Nutshell - I provide a high level overview of the independent publishing process, players, tools, and resources (best for an audience at the very beginning of their publishing journeys).
My own fiction work - Of course, I'm always happy to discuss my own fiction work: The Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels and Suspense Shorts and the Lizzy Ballard Thrillers. Find out more at https://www.mattydalrymple.com/
