“Penny Sansevieri and Amy Cornell provide very in-depth commentary about what it means to be a successful author in today’s day and age. I will admit that I have only listened to the first episode at the time of writing this review, but even that short 30 minutes is full of intricate tips such as dos and do nots for publishing on Amazon and what it means to target a specific market or audience.
However, I do have to admit that listening to the first episode has severally demoralized me as a prospective first-time author. I am still on the fence about how seriously I want to take the publishing and marketing process for my first book. Penny and Amy are incredibly enthusiastic about their subject matter, but I have always deeply disliked advertising and marketing in general. Listening to this podcast has just further reinforced my feeling that I will probably have to outsource most of my marketing if I ever am going to seriously attempt to get my book into the public’s eye. It pains me to say it, but I may not possess the proper aptitude to be successful.
Regardless, I appreciate the pair’s willingness to shatter any and all illusions I may have held about what it means to be a successful author. If you are serious about selling many copies of your book and getting your name out there I would highly recommend you listen to these two!”
