PODCAST DROP: Windowing, Anthologies, and Murdering Your Darlings
In their bi-monthly conversational catch-up, Orna Ross and Joanna Penn compare notes on smart sequencing and softer marketing.
Joanna walks through her windowing strategy in publishing her short story anthology, The Buried and the Drowned, and what getting Blood Vintage back has taught her about the submission process.
Orna talks about the joy of bringing everything closer to home, including her part in PoetTown, a local anthology, reshaping her Patreon into a capped, intimate AMA, and starting a new SubStack Making Meaning on the principle of Kevin Kelly’s ‘audience of one.’
They also explore what an Author’s Note can do for reader trust in the age of AI, how to ‘murder your darlings’ in publishing as well as writing, and take a constructive look at truth in memoir through the lens of ALLi’s Ethical Author guidelines (Yes, we’re looking at you Salt Path!).
Tune in to the Creative Self-Publishing Podcast stream for less script, more real talk from two of the most seasoned indie authors in the business.
