Author Media presents Novel Marketing, the longest-running book marketing podcast in the world. This is the show for writers who want to build their platform, sell more books, and change the world with writing worth talking about. 

I’m your host, Thomas Umstattd Jr., and while to my knowledge Novel Marketing is the longest running book marketing podcast, it is not the longest running podcast for indie writers. I think that honor goes to today’s guest Joanna Penn. Her excellent podcast The Creative Penn started back in 2009.

Joanna is a popular guest on this podcast and the author of numerous books including Public Speaking for Authors, Creatives and Other Introverts. 

Joanna, welcome to the Novel Marketing Podcast!
