New Adult is a genre that only emerged within the last few years. It’s a genre where the protagonists and targeted audience are college-aged and, like Young Adult, is being crossed with many other genres. Jasmine Walt is a new author who writes Fantasy married with New Adult and doing extremely well at it! She’s currently ranked within the top 100 authors in Sci-Fi & Fantasy and Fantasy on Amazon. Did I mention she’s a new author?

We were surprised at how much of an introvert our guest was. He’s very down to earth, with a practical and motivated mind when it comes to making money in publishing.
There’s no doubt that romance is the most popular genre. The readers are voracious and will follow their favourite authors with a passion. Quite a number of those readers are currently enamoured with Chance Carter. A man writing Bad Boy Romances for women. While male romance authors aren’t unusual, they’re more likely to write under a female pen name. But not Chance, he’s flaunting his gender on social media and the fans love it. How much do they love it? Well, a recent release netted him 400 reviews in a week! So of course we invited him on to find out how he does it.

Australian author Demelza Carlton joined us to talk about building her mailing list from very low to over 15,000 in just six months! We asked her to share with us exactly how she did it, how much it cost and how one would maintain a list that size once you’ve attracted oodles of subscribers. We also talked about her writing, publishing but not her fear of swimming with fish 😛

We interviewed the founder of JuNoWriMo, Becca J. Campbell and learned how the challenge started, the effort that goes into running an event of this scale, about her own writing and a lot of other interesting things along the way.
JuNoWriMo is a challenge to write 50,000 words in 30 days. That’s 1667 words a day! It’s also a community of writers and aspiring writers to get together and offer support, motivation and friendship. It’s almost like NaNoWriMo except it’s in June instead.
Interview is available on both audio download and youtube.

TS Paul published his first eBook mid-February of this year. It was the first in his Athena Lee Chronicles, a short form sci-fi serial, which he followed up with a second book just two weeks later. Since then he has released one eBook every two weeks. The length of each instalment varies wildly from 34 – 148 pages and he’s charging $2.99 a pop! What’s even more interesting is that they sell!
So of course we invited him over to the podcast to tell us how he does it, why he does it and what he plans to do next.
