Our Communications Manager, Jay Artale, has put together a roundup of our Ask ALLi and Indie Author Fringe podcasts, and coaxes us to take time for ourselves over the festive season to listen and be inspired.
Take a Walk, Listen to a Podcast
This time of year is all about time with family and friends and possibly eating to much. As the majority of authors I know are this side of introverted, there will be some time during the festive season where you may want to just get away from other human beings for a short while, and walk to recharge your social batteries.
Manhattan Beach, I'm not the only one enjoying some solitude
I've migrated to Los Angeles for the winter and have been doing a daily 6 mile walks along the beach. These walks are excellent for clearing the head, and I've been using the time to give some of our Ask ALLi and Indie Author podcasts a second spin.
Walk along the South Bay Los Angeles
I like this uninterrupted time to listen and process thoughts as I walk, and I seem to be able to absorb the advice and inspiration better when I multi-task exercise and listening together, rather than passive listening in the comfort of an armchair.
So if you'd like to sprinkle your festive walks with some indie author advice or inspiration to help your plot and plan your goals for 2017, work your way through the following Podcast Playlists:
Ask ALLi Podcast
Each month Orna Ross and Joanna Penn answer questions from our ALLi members about writing, self-publishing and being and author. These monthly podcasts not only offer advice to authors, but also include inspiration from Orna and Joanna as they navigate the self-publishing waters for themselves (newest podcasts at the bottom of the list):
Indie Author Fringe Podcast
Our Indie Author Fringe Podcasts were recorded as part of our fringe events to the London Book Fair, BookExpo America (now known as BookExpo), and the Frankfurt Book Fair. Listen to industry experts and fellow authors share their writing, publishing and book marketing knowledge and experience with you (newest podcasts at the bottom of the list):

Share your Author Podcast with us
If you have your own podcast that is targeted at indie authors leave a comment below with the link, and a brief description of what your podcast focuses on.
Boy did you miss a great podcast for Indie authors. 2PagesOfMystery.com – great source for getting short mystery stories published and turned into audiobooks. Free service and everything!
I can’t miss the opportunity to post my indie author podcast Self-Publishing Journeys here: http://self-publishing-journeys.com/
Self-Publishing Journeys focuses on self-published authors who are at the beginning of their careers – I speak to authors who have at least one book self-published and who have begun to make sales.
My guests have a good online presence and tips to share about getting momentum going with marketing.
You’ll hear many authors who are associated with ALLi on the show, many you won’t have heard from before.
I would love to see you over at http://self-publishing-journeys.com/ if you’re a podcast lover 🙂
Hi Paul
Just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying your podcast – I’m working my way through the back list of sessions. It is so good to hear a northern voice – I like your style of interviewing. It’s also interesting to hear authors who are at varying stages in their journeys. I would definitely recommend it.
best wishes

Hi,
Great to see a collection of Indie author podcasts that you’ve compiled.
I am the creator and host of MyKitaab (My Book) – http://www.mykitaab.in; which is a podcast on How to Publish and Market Your Books. With over 80 episodes till date, the focus is largely on the Indian market, though I also interview international guests and self publishing platforms, apps and startups in book publishing. Thanks
