In this episode of Pros Talking Prose, Stacey and Troy don't mince words when they discuss the latest tea in the industry. FindawayVoices ticked off everyone when they changed their contract and were caught red-handed. Amazon keeps changing their algorithm and short-sheeting the self-published author. What does this mean for you?
Listen as Troy and Stacey talk about the ways authors should pivot in this latest tweak to the publishing industry. PIVOT - PIVOT - PIIIIVOOOOOOTTTTT! IYKYK
Listen to these two friends talk shop and you can learn about changing direction, selling your books directly, bestseller lists, and other outdated strategies and how you should adjust your plans.
Who are these ranting lunatics who call themselves the pros?
Meet Stacey Smekofske, your very own editor/chihuahua. She is a freelance full-service editor who will bite your kneecaps off if you come between her and her authors. On top of that dog pile, she is also a publishing coach—think of her as the St. Bernard who brings you brandy and gets you out of the avalanche of overwhelm associated with publishing. You can find her chasing her tail at EditsByStacey.com.
And who's that dancing a hula in the corner? It's Troy Lambert! Author, editor, ghostwriter, publisher, plot doctor, and book coach. This man makes more magic than Merlin in a tornado. If you need someone to bring your book to life, Troy's your witch doctor. He is like the bookish version of Gandalf in a good mood bringing you to the power of plot building. You can teleport to TroyLambertWrites.com, and get your writing game on.
