This week’s episode is a continuation of last week’s interview with author Herman P. Hunter. We had a conversation about how an author might prepare for a book signing or convention, and halfway through we found ourselves wandering into various other details involved in independent publishing. Thus, today’s episode.

You can find his works at https://www.hphunterwriter.com/ and his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@hermanphunter_theloreforge. Check them out today!

We’ll see you next Thursday.

Today I discuss with author Herman P. Hunter how to prepare for and what to bring to in-person events as an author. This conversation came as a result of me looking for help to get ready for my first events, and he supplied exactly that help.

Herman already had a short video sharing his convention packing list – you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYt5fjaypYg

Additionally, you can catch up on Herman’s books at https://www.hphunterwriter.com/ . Check it out today!

This is my response: don’t take no for an answer*.

And to finish a thought I started in the video – I told about how I didn’t join band in 6th grade, but then I did in 7th grade. This had a huge impact on my life, since I went on to major in music and completed a Bachelor of Music in Music Education, before teaching band for a year and then playing clarinet as a Marine Musician for several years.

Now, I’m not taking no for an answer – no publisher was even given the opportunity to decline my manuscript. I prepped it, ran it through the gamut of feedback and edits, and pushed it out there. It’s a risk, but it’s *my* risk, and the satisfaction is mine as well. Thus will it be with my next book, and the next.

I’m not 100% opposed to trad publishing. If they discover me and come to me with a distribution offer, I’ll entertain it. But I’m not going looking for them, at least not at this time.
