Welcome aboard!

Welcome to The Indy Author, home of The Indy Author Podcast, where we discuss the writing craft, the publishing voyage, and how we can navigate our way to the readers who will love our books.

The podcast itself remains free and available to everyone through podcast apps, YouTube, and TheIndyAuthor.com. This Substack is the companion home for listeners who want a little more: a searchable archive of episode resources, deeper notes, transcripts, and a way to support the ongoing production of the show.

What You’ll Find Here

Each episode post includes a public episode description so everyone can see what the conversation covers and decide whether it’s a good fit.

Paid supporters also receive an on-air thank-you on The Indy Author Podcast as well as:

  • Extensive episode summary

  • Full transcript

  • Resource list and links

  • Access to the supporter-only discussion thread

The goal is simple: keep the podcast itself freely available, while giving supporters a useful companion library they can return to whenever they want to revisit an idea, quote, resource, or piece of advice.

Why Support The Indy Author?

Producing a weekly podcast takes time, tools, and care. Your support helps make it possible for me to keep sharing thoughtful conversations with people who have useful and inspiring insights for writers.

Founding Members

Founding Members are listeners who want to offer extra annual support for the show. Founding Members receive all regular supporter benefits, along with special recognition as sustaining supporters of The Indy Author Podcast.

A Note About Comments

Because the expanded summaries, transcripts, and resource lists live behind the supporter paywall, discussion on those posts is reserved for paid supporters. But the podcast episodes themselves remain free, and I’m always glad to hear from listeners on YouTube and Facebook.

Thanks so much for listening, reading, and supporting The Indy Author Podcast—welcome aboard for our creator voyage!
