    You can order my new nonfiction productivity book Double Your Time: In Canada: https://amzn.to/40Ecm3U In the US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1CVNHWW?ref_=pe_3052080_276849420 To buy my online course: https://self-publishingqueen.thinkific.com/ Transcript Hello writers! I'm Josiane Fortin and today I want to give you an update on the latest news in my writing journey. My Kickstarter campaign ended on March 29th and I did not reach my funding goal of 1000$. I received 122$ from 11 backers. Looking back, I guess it was hard to raise 1000$ soly from small pledges. My cheapest offering was 5$ and the most expensive was 200$. Donations (3 backers)5$ for an ebook (4 backers)10$ for an audiobook15$ for a Digital Bundle including an Ebook & Audiobook (2 backers)17$+shipping for a signed paperback (2 backers)200$ to get the book dedicated to you + Ebook & Paperback It was fun for me to try out a new platform. If I do another campaign, I need to create a redirection link instead of using the kickstarter link. That way, anyone that clicks on it after the end date would be taken directly to purchasing of the book and I won't have to update my material. The book is now available for pre-order! In the nonfiction book Double Your Time, I share simple but powerful techniques that will help you jump-start your productivity. From identifying your most important tasks to eliminating distractions and managing your energy levels, this book is packed with practical tips and strategies that you can start using today. Whether you're struggling to stay on top of your to-do list or you simply want to get more out of your day, Double Your Time is the ultimate guide to boosting your output and achieving your goals. So why wait? Start reading now and discover the secrets to doubling your time and living a more productive and fulfilling life. As of today, I am waiting on the cover I ordered. I have paid for a line edit and proofread, which are completed. I am also done with the layout. As soon as the cover is available, the book will be delivered to all those who have preordered. The book retails at 5,99 CAN$ or 4,99 USD. I have a temporary cover up. Also, one goal of this podcast was to prompt you to look at my online course about self-publishing on Amazon. This course teaches you exactly the technical step-by-step you must do to start selling your book on Amazon. You won't believe how easy it will be! If you are ready to publish your book, you can self-publish both ebooks and paperbacks on KDP, Amazon's platform. I want to show you how so you stop wasting you time figuring this out on your own. No Googling, not asking around in Facebook groups. I recorded my screen to show you all the steps. I also share free tips to do the layout and cover if you'd like to do it yourself. My course is published on Thinkific, an online course platform. If I don't get students soon, Thinkific might turn off my account. If you are interested in this course, please enroll soon. I am currently focusing on translating my book Double Your Time to French. After that, I am hoping to pick up the writing on my fantasy book series. I am working on the first book and have around 10k words written, so there is still a lot of work to do. Also, letting you know that if you listen the podcast about getting free translation on Babelcube in exchange for shared royalties, I wanted to share that as of the day of recording this, I have made 2,66 USD. I am keeping my hopes up! Thanks for listening, and I'll catch you in the next episode! --- You can find Josiane Fortin, the self-proclaimed Self-Publishing Queen here: Website Author page Facebook Patreon Ko-Fi If you are ready to self-publish on Amazon, let me teach you what you need to know in my online course: How to Self-Publish On Amazon Freebie 5-Day Nonfiction Book Challenge Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review to keep the good stuff coming!

  • #80: Where Fantasy Authors Ought to Begin With Neil Mach

    #80: Where Fantasy Authors Ought to Begin With Neil Mach
    Jun 30 2022

    Neil Mach is the self-published author of 12 books.

    Neil is an energetic author and regular podcaster. He is a respected commentator on writing fantasy literature and he blogs on folk tales, superstition, imagination, and how the problems & difficulties of the real world overlap into stories set in fictional universes.

    Neil is the author of the fantasy author's guide “So You Want to Write Fantasy?” and the host of the podcast show Myth & Magic.

    He attempts to unite philosophical thought with artistic imagination while addressing alternate worlds and fantasy themes; though Neil specializes in notions of belief building, the curse of exoticism, monster-making, the value of sacrifice, paracosms, and the strange experience of liminality.

    He focuses his attention on the point where fantasy begins and reality ends.
