After submitting his debut self-pub novel to the annual SPFBO (self published fantasy blog-off) competition and reaching the semi-finals, Alex Darwin landed himself with a "trad deal" and agent. In the months leading up to his trad re-launch, Alex applied his self-pub experience to his upcoming book launch, trying a number of different angles. Reflecting back, he shares what kind of tactics worked best to give his book the best possible chance.

Topics covered:

Being a hybrid author
How SPFBO works and can benefit indie authors
Paying for publicity (via Black Crow) in the UK specifically
Collaborative efforts with Orbit on marketing/publicity in the USA
Book Tours (an assessment and reflection)
Finding an angle for pubs to use
Thinking about longterm goals
LitRPGs and why they remain indie
Theories about the goal of OrbitWorks (digital only imprints)
Chatter about jujitsu and other nonsense
