From sf/fantasy writer Tee Morris: “I found your blog through the Frappr maps and thought you might want to give my blog/podcast a visit/listen. You can also subscribe to my podcast (via iTunes) and other directories. This podcast is called The Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy and its host blog is http://www.teemorris.com/blog. My aim for the show is to go into promotion of yourself and your work.

There are a lot of podcasts out there about books, reviewing books, publishing, and getting published, but there are few (if any) podcasts out there on how to market and sell your books once your car stock arrives. I not only talk about strategies and techniques that have worked for me, but I’m going to interview other authors (big and small press) and ask them what they do to get their name and their books into the public eye.”
I’ve subscribed to Tee’s podcast and it’s well-produced, informative and entertaining, with a focus on promotion and marketing for writers. The most recent podcast covers a number of writing-related topics but focuses on answering the question: “Book reviews: are they worth it for writers?” The lengthy advertisement of the podcast host station in the middle of the episode is somewhat annoying but worth plowing through to get to the second half. 
The subtitle on Tee’s blog reads: “An average of 170,000 books are published in one year…and out of those 170,000 books, you want the world to read yours.”). Even if you’re not an sf/fantasy writer, Tee’s podcast offers valuable tips and info about how to promote and market yourself as a writer; I strongly recommend it.
