Sound Bites From This Episode

🎙️ [4:17] – “For all those that are continually beating that drum, or find it weird that I'm anti-ebook, in your face.”

🎙️ [16:32] – “I would hope by now anybody that's listened to more than a couple of  these episodes, that you've understood that whether or not Lauren and I worked for Lulu, we would still be talking about books, print books, how authors can sell more books. Our whole existence at times, especially from a professional level, revolves around helping authors sell more books.”

🎙️ [35:16] – “You should be tapping into this market of print book readers and buyers. 100% if you're not already, you should. But more importantly, if you're not selling direct yet, that's really where all of this comes together. That's the four way stop, the convergence of where all of these things will meet in the middle and form, like the ultimate sort of book sales experience for you and your readers.”
