Episode Description

This last episode of Publishing Today: Clear Direction for a Changing Industry will explore the power of doing your homework when choosing a publisher. There are so many options that “sound” so good, but using critical thinking and comparing the insinuations and promises in the sales pitch to the actual fine print on the website can save an author time, heartache, and lots of money. Listen as we discuss with 3 different authors their experience with publishers who over promise and under deliver, and discover why Redemption Press is your best choice as a publisher.
