Johnny B. Truant has been in the DNA of self publishing almost from the start. He’s an author, a podcaster, a reluctant influencers. Great guy, too. And his series, “Fat Vampire,” has been adapted by the SyFy Channel as “Reginald the Vampire.” Success by almost any definition!
But is it success by Johnny’s definition?
We talk about that, and about the movement and evolution happening in the publishing industry, and what it means to be an “iconoclast author” (or an “artisan author,” if you’re me).
This is a great conversation, and I think everyone (even non-authors) will get a lot out of it. Food for the soul.
