Wouldn't it be great if all you had to do was write your book, put it up for sale, and then watch the customer lineup?

Well, that's not how it works.

In this episode, cohosts Alex Simmons and Chris Ryan dive into the critical but often overlooked realities of pitching your ideas, planning promotional campaigns, and building your platform—regardless of whether you’re seeking a traditional publishing deal or going the indie route.

They discuss why even award-winning authors and successful filmmakers can’t escape the demands of self-promotion, and share practical advice for perfecting your pitch, engaging your audience, and authentically connecting with your community.

Packed with real-world examples, useful strategies, and a dash of humor, this episode is your essential guide to navigating the business side of your creative journey.
