Ep520 – Philip C. Quaintrell — The Bestseller Breaking All The Rules
Philip C. Quaintrell is in Amazon’s top 1.8% of self-published authors. He does this with no marketing spend, no newsletter, and epic fantasy novels so massively epic that even Brandon Sanderson would quake at their page count. He’s also one of the nicest authors we’ve interviewed. He gives us the lowdown on how he moved from full-time job to full-time author in just a few years.
In this episode you will discover:
- A release schedule to keep your readers wanting more
- A great alternative to newsletters
- And an amazing alternative to hiring an editor
