The Author Journey Returns for the Fall Season

Today will be our first day back with The Author Journey after a summer break! Hope you had a wonderful summer. As usual, we'll be broadcasting live on Tuesday afternoons at 4 pm (Atlantic), 3 pm (Eastern) on my LinkedIn profile as well as on the OC Publishing Facebook page and YouTube channel. The line-up for September is phenomenal, beginning today with the ladies from Partridge Island Publishing, Amanda Evans and Shannon Dykens. They have set up such an amazing author publishing cooperative, along with a book shop at the beautiful Area 506 Waterfront Container Village, where they feature not only their own authors but other indie authors and small presses (including OC Pub authors). What they have accomplished is nothing short of incredible and we'll be talking with them all about the how's and why's and how the summer has gone for them.

Check out the full line-up for September below!

You may be wondering why I started The Author Journey... so I'll tell you! It began as a way to give the authors I work with a little extra exposure and to celebrate their launches. Then, it expanded to other indie authors, and finally to also include industry professionals (like editors, illustrators and designers) and other publishers, traditional and hybrid. It's one of the many bright spots of my week as I bring guests on to discuss their own insights into the writing and publishing industry, with all the ups and downs of a very convoluted and ever-changing business.

If you are an author or industry professional, I'd love to hear from you and feature you on The Author Journey. Comment here or email me at anne@ocpublishing.ca

Happy reading and writing!
