Podcast #2: How to Collaborate with other Authors

I get so much enjoyment out of collaborating with other authors. I haven’t done any cross-promoting, or multi-author box sets like today’s guest, memoir writer Joe Cawley, but I do seek out travel writers who have published a book so I can feature them in my author interview series, and now I’m starting a new author collaboration with this podcast. There’s plenty of opportunities to collaborate in today’s virtual world with other authors in your niche, so if you’re feeling isolated or in need of some friendly author interaction – maybe it’s time to reach out and build your network.

This show is relevant to indie authors who have published a book already, and are looking for ways to partner with other authors to reach more readers and increase his book sales.

In this podcast episode we discuss:

• The benefit of Author collaboration
• Cross-promoting with other author in your niche
• Multi-author box sets & discounted bundled promotions
• Jumping from non-fiction to fiction
• Building your travel writing brand
