Wow brilliant posts. I really wish that I knew more about the topic to be quite honest with you.

Thanks for commenting J.C., Scott, James, Arioch, and Matt! I know I’ve left out soooo many amazing authors from this list such as Phil Rossi and Christiana Ellis among the other authors mentioned in the comments.

Thanks so much for your nod to authors who podcast their work as a way to build audience and drive sales for print and other formats!

When I put out “Brave Men Run — A Novel of the Sovereign Era” in September of 2005, it was the first book ever to have an initial simultaneous release in print, e-book and podcast forms.

Did I know what I was doing? A little. Did I know if it would work? Nope… but like the other authors you mention and many more, I believed (and believe!) that the audience will decide what hits and what doesn’t, so long as you give them the chance.

That’s why I give away for free at least one version of everything I do — because I believe in my work, and I have faith that the audience will compensate artists who create great art.

So far, so good!

Thanks again,

Matt

Yes, it has been a glorious ride and I’ve been amazed at how many podioauthors have been able to make it in print. Philippa Ballantine now has a major print deal. Tee Morris and Jon Armstrong are both doing well too. I think Scott is absolutely correct when he says that giving your content away for free is the future of the publishing industry.

Truly the publishing industry paradigm shift that has been a long time coming. It must be incredible to ride the crest of that wave. Congratulations to all of the great trailblazers. I’ve been a fan of most of these authors for years already and I never cease to be amazed. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for posting and pimping the work of the podcast fiction community. That last picture really made it hit home for me — we are shaking things up. That stack of books is just the tip of the tidal wave about to crest down and swamp Big Publishing.

Thanks so much for the shout-out, man! You’ve put me in some terrific company in this post. That photo of 7th Son looks positively sexy!

Thanks for the comment Adrian. I’ll have to check out Orphans of the Sky. I’ve enjoyed the other Heinlein books I’ve read.

I think it shares several key components to Heinlein’s Orphans of the Sky.

A ship that’s been travelling for millennia with mutants due to the time span makes for far too many similarities in my opinion.
