A Candid Conversation with Steve Gergley

On the struggles and strategies of a small press author.

Steve Gergley and I discuss the launch of his new novel, Skyscraper, using it as a lens to explore the indie publishing world from the perspective of an author with a book to sell. We walk through the entire pre-publication cycle, from the disorienting search for a publisher to the grueling demands of self-promotion to the bittersweet realities of release day.

This is the most recent in a series of frank, unscripted conversations about the (often bleak) practical realities of small press publishing. As with previous episodes, the audio is completely unedited and unadulturated. Authentic, really. (Read: lazy.)
