Content Warning: Discussion of Nazis and neo-Nazis Shady and unethical journalistic practices In 1983, the Stern news magazine in Western Germany, after selling serial rights to publication across the Western world, announced that Hitler's lost diaries had been discovered in the German countryside. Within a few days, Stern was totally discredited, the diaries were exposed as forgeries, and two Hitler-loving dumbasses were arrested. We discussed what kind of dumbasses and dumbassery led up to the diaries being taken for genuine articles and shown to the world as such, exploring what mistakes publishers and reporters made to let something like this happen. And, of course, we will unveil how the scam was brought to an end! Link to the transcript: https://hybridpubscout.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/66-HitlerDiaries-Transcript.docx.pdf Find us on...

What do you do when you need to talk to a kid in your life about a difficult subject but aren’t sure where to start? Enter A Kid’s Company About, a media company built on the belief that kids are ready to have challenging, important and empowering conversations with the grown-ups in their lives. The company has published over 50 books to date, ranging from topics like divorce, cancer, and shame to racism, gratitude, empathy, and being non binary. In 2021, they expanded their focus from telling stories through books aimed at five to nine year olds to telling stories through words, video, audio and beyond for kids of all ages. In this episode, we talk to audio project and podcast writer/editor/producer Ari Mathae and editor Denise Morales Soto about the importance of approaching difficult subjects with empathy, the company’s unique submission process, how big of a role kids play in each book’s development, and how AKCA's mission inspires them.

Sometimes readers forget that these cherished bound objects aren't always beacons of goodness and enlightenment in a mad world. Sometimes, in fact, they can be a medium for a 15th century incel to rain down misery and death on thousands of people for hundreds of years! Chris Curran from episode 16 returns to discuss the origins and the general repulsiveness of the Malleus Maleficarum—aka The Hammer of Witches, aka the Witch Hunter's Manual—with Corinne and Emily. "The swift propagation of the witch hysteria by the press was the first evidence that Gutenberg had not liberated man from original sin."

We chatted with them about the challenges of building innovations from scratch in an industry with very traditional ways of doing things, staying afloat as a very small company during a global pandemic, and starting that small company right when the entire world shut down. We also talk about how both Nellie and Liz’s very different career paths prepared them for their current work, how software like Hederis can help publishers retain staff and offer personal attention, and why Erewhon has been the perfect partner for Hederis as they’ve used the software to build the first few titles on their list.

What do you do when you can’t find anything you want to read? You write it yourself. After plumbing the depths of Amazon for erotic romance featuring queer POC and coming up empty, Katrina Jackson took matters into her own hands and started writing her own. More than seventeen books later, we chatted with her about why word-of-mouth is still the best marketing tool—even for self-published authors!—why publishing her work on platforms besides Amazon allows her to reach a much wider international market, and why cats (!) have been crucial to her books. We also discuss the revelation that Amazon may not be the actual devil, inasmuch as it allows work by historically overlooked and marginalized groups to find an audience, something that traditional publishing has emphatically not been able to do, and the importance of self-reflection when it comes to building your personal library.

We also talked about the joys and pains—but mostly joys—of owning your own business, why an Arby’s was actually the perfect place for a book launch party, and how even the shyest of introverts can effectively promote their books without feeling like they need to take a shower afterward.

Our guest this week is Michael R. Underwood, publishing professional, fellow podcaster, and author of the found family space opera Annihilation Aria, out now from Parvus Press. In addition to his years of writing scifi, he's also a former bookseller, sales representative who sold to bookstores across the midwest, and North American Sales & Marketing Manager for Angry Robot Books. We talk about how bookselling can bolster your career as both an author and a book marketer, what it's like to write a collaborative series for the app Serial Box, how privilege plays into publishing, and how his experience with digital-first publishing is helping him market his book in a pandemic. He also tells us about how his relationship with tabletop roleplaying games has gone from a hobby as a teen, to a subject of academic study, to regular live storytelling performance for more players than ever as part of his authorial life.

In this episode, we talk to Head of Publishing at Kickstarter Margot Atwell about why the community crowdfunding platform is tailor-made for authors and why more publishers should be embracing it, why the publishing industry model is broken and suggestions on how to fix it, and why decentralizing the industry is key to making sure that more perspectives are represented in both the industry and the books it produces. (I mean, do we really need any more books about twenty something Brooklyn hipsters and their trust funds?) We also talk about the process of creating a campaign on Kickstarter, and how it helps authors find their audience BEFORE their book comes out.

You’ve self-published a book. Congrats! Now how do you find your readers? On this episode, Emily sat down with prolific romance authors Elaina Jadin and Marie Robinson to discuss just that, along with the best marketing tools you can use to to find--and keep--an enthusiastic army of fans. They also chat about how having a co-author ultimately benefits a book, how you can still love a story that you’re writing to market, and why writing a book with an end in mind but not so much the rest of the journey can stretch your writing and make you better at it. And if you’ve ever wondered if you should self-publish your book on platforms that aren’t Amazon, Marie is here to tell you: Yes. Yes, you should.…
In this episode, Emily chats with book marketing coach and newly installed publisher at Ooligan Press, Robyn Crummer-Olson, who works with both self-published and traditionally published authors on project management and book marketing and publicity. We talk about why it’s important for marketers to be honest with authors about just how hard it is to launch a book (very, very, very hard), why your purpose as an author has to be about more than making money, and what authors can do to make marketers’ jobs easier. (Hint: Don’t insist that your book is for everyone. No book is for everyone. Well, maybe To Kill a Mockingbird.) We also talk about how important it is for authors to let their publishers know exactly what they’re doing to promote their book, and why it’s such a joy to work with authors who are curious and open to trying all kinds of promotional strategies to get the job done.

We also talk about the difficult feelings and frustrating conversations that they've had in the wake of George Floyd's murder, the difference between brands that pay lip service and ones that take action when it comes to BLM, and when asking Black people questions about racism and social justice is (and isn't!!!) a good move.

This week, literary agent DongWon Song provides insights on the #PublishingPaidMe discussion and why decolonizing—rather than "diversifying"—publishing, really makes a lot of sense if you think about it. He also talks about how to find an agent that is right for your communication style and a writing community that will help you navigate a tough, rejection-ridden, and often inequitable industry. He also tells us what he's doing as an agent to amplify black voices. If you are a BIPOC aspiring author or an author from another marginalized group looking for some encouragement, or an aspiring ally who wants to help dismantle white supremacy in publishing, today's interview is for you. And wherever you happen to be right now, hopefully this gets you thinking about how you can help elevate stories that have long been ignored.

1:08:21What do you do if you’ve got 30 notebooks full of your writing and no one to publish them? If you’re University of Hell Press founder Greg Gerding, you do it yourself and create a self-publishing empire. The author of seven published books of prose and poetry, Greg’s initial spark for the press came from a weekly reading series he’d hosted at a bar in Washington, D.C., aptly called Hell. After moving to San Diego, he was inspired by the city’s local music scene’s DIY ethos and began calling on his friends to design covers, among other things. Finding himself in Portland a few years later and virtually swimming in literary goings-on, Greg expanded the press and at this point, publishes a combination of solicited and unsolicited material, and spends most of his time trying to convince other folks to start their own self-publishing empires. His birthday buddies include Stephen Baldwin (boo) and Tony Hawk (yay)! Please rate and review us on whatever podcast platform you happen to use.

In the midst of a more-scandalous-than-usual news cycle, Ian Doescher joins us to talk about his new political satire, MacTrump. MacTrump gives an over-the-top (or over the top-er) version of the first two years of the Trump Administration, all in 5 act format, all in iambic pentameter. If you're needing a more long-form laugh than 240 characters, this might be the pick for you. Ian's is an especially fortunate publishing journey. A lifetime love of Shakespeare and a recent rewatch of A New Hope sparked the idea for William Shakespeare's Star Wars, which reimagines the beloved sci-fi series through an approximation of the Bard's pen. Ian contacted the editor listed on Quirk Books' website, who published Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, with his pitch—and they were super down. And also happened to have collaborated with Lucasfilm in the past. Now, with eleven books already written and four in the works, Ian is ensuring that the spirit of Shakespeare is carried here hence forthwith (am I doing it right?).
