Art introduces a two-part series of interviews coming in the next two weeks that focuses on the ins and outs of self-publishing. Tim and Art are inviting two new authors into the corner booth to discuss their experiences with hybrid publishers and with full-blown self-publishing strategies. The conversation should be enlightening for any who want to explore what's out there in the vast, often intimidating landscape of self-publishing strategies.

Even though Tim and Art are firmly on the record as not wanting to self-publish our own work, we see this as a service for you, the listener, should you wish to consider it. Art has actually self-published before several "how to" books on coaching flag football.
