Really enjoyed this episode. Great conversation.

Hail! Great talk

SICK!

Oh yeah. It’s amazing how many people, especially family and close friends, who don’t support you until you have the support of strangers and then they act like they’ve supported you all along. -KD

BASED

Many people dont realize how closely related the music scene in general is to the indie book community!

SUCH A GOOD ONE!

Thank you SO MUCH for having me on brother! Such a great talk! Can’t wait for another! Come chill at the pub sometime brother 😎

Outstanding conversation! Really enjoyed this one. Keep ‘em coming.

Jesse is an amazing writer. My son loves his work as do I.I will share anything he writes

Great interview 😊

Fantastic conversation! Just don’t understand all the Cyclops hate, Nicky!😂 Seriously, keep up the great work.

I've been wondering lately if wearing all the hats in the publishing process makes for a better indie writer. It certainly forces me to learn new skills and do things outside of my comfort area, like getting on YT. Listening to a certain subset of tradpub authors - they really don't seem to appreciate each sale, the fans, or the process.

Agreed that the technical aspects were lacking, but Rob's energy and passion leapt off the page and punched you in the face. A TON of fun. 1/2 way through book 2 now and technical aspects have improved.

I didn’t even see this before but I do now

No disagreement here

Hey, I get a shout-out! Thanks, man.

JD's Last Fanatics was an eye opener, and I have a lot of new avenues to explore now. I read Pulp Mindset as well and have Y Signal on the TBR. It's good to have a guy like JD shining a light on what happened to all these great stories. I started writing because I just couldn't find a good unsubverted played straight S&S tale. Good interview.

Fellow Psych-os? C’mon, son! I knew you were good people.

I'd love to see Marella Sands on here to talk horror!

I don't hate Dracula, but I'm not a big fan. I recommend Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Bram Stoker stole quite a bit from that and it's done better. Last I heard Netflix removed Hemlock Grove last October, so I'm glad I also own the dvds. Did you know it was based on a book? It was originally titled The Wise Wolf by Brian McGreevy, it's good and quite a bit more disturbing!

It's crazy how stupid US people are... The casual racist incel vibe in this video says it all. Thanks god the publishing market is finally reading anything from minorities, we could discuss about how good these books are, but discussing the "quota" is actively trying to be dumb just to defend your conservative racist position so you don't feel bad about yourself. These 2 are probably pathetic writers if their opinions are so limited...

Pretending to be a woman is working for men looking to take women's places so I guess people need to do a Dolezal😮

I get the feeling you both voted for this

It's insane nowadays. Frankly, this is some grade A racism - saying you won't take work because you're not a person of color OR that you should have your race more present in your work. Yet it's promoted, celebrated even! Yet when someone (normally a white person) calls out these acts as horrible, they themselves are called racist. Talk about projection.

Had a friend in HS who was constantly berated by her black peers for hand out with us metal heads. You can easily figure out what they called her. It must have sucked being told to get into a "black lane" as determined by gods knows who. And here it is institutionalized. She was an amazing guitarist.

My god these videos deserve a hundred times the views. These are heartfelt conversations that resonate with me and I've sure would with hundreds of other indie creators. My current frustrations are along these lines. IRL takes over, esp as a dad and full time jobber... and when some free time is available I'm often mentally exhausted. And when I write and edit, I wonder if I'm "fresh" enough to do good work. There are all kinds of psychology involved here. In the end I just have to open the doc and have at it.

Haven't seen that one in a long time. Very weird.

More great points from you guys. I haven't marketed my novelettes since I put out my shiny new novel, and am waist deep in editing book 2. Our attention is split so many ways creatively, to say nothing of Family and work lives.

Yes we get lost in our own worlds. In very similar vein, authors need an editor who lets them know their descriptions fall short, or the plot twists or character actions are unclear. I already know what I'm writing, so my little Coles notes version works for me - but does it work for a reader.

If nothing else, these vids will at least get IronAgers to think about the subject. It's so important, and the more indies spreading the word the better.

Great interview! Really liked the conversations in this vid!

It's funny. I thought of what I was writing as 'Meat and Potatoes". "Working Class Creatives" is a great term.

Snippet sized clips are a good idea, but do you have the full stream? Maybe I missed it on you channel.

Hell yeah. I'd love more feedback. I just accept that the reader does what they do. I encourage the culture to move in a direction where the reader is more engaged, but you can't force it.

Great show! Iron sharpens iron!

That's sad. She should be able to write about anything she wants.

Bit by bit building something awesome

A majority of the time, especially during the modern day, consumers don’t know what they need, that’s why the shelves are always absolutely packed with options. Modern day adults are almost dependent on options. You see it everywhere you go. Which is why no one that makes very specific things has a bigger presence. Such as Shoe repairmen. You seldomly see shoe repair shops anymore, because chances are it’s cheaper to just buy the exact same pair.

That’s the magic word: authenticity

"Pretty much hardcore pulp" I'm hearing that!

"I tried the 'Real World.' I don't recommend it." This man gets it lmao.

Thanks for having me on your marketing podcast Nicky! I enjoyed our conversation together. Abundant opportunities out there for people that listen to your show. I hope this discussion helps them.

Thanks again for having Will G. on the show! It was a good time and would definitely be open to it again down the line

It was a pleasure being on!

Right on Mr Black
