Check 1, Check 2... Hey, we're podcasting! As we set out to cover the ever changing world of digital publishing, we're proud to announce the BackMyBook Podcast. Hopefully, this will be a fun and (maybe even) mildly entertaining way to hear from interesting personalities in the space as well as learn all about digital publishing and self-publishing. We're planning to interview published authors, aspiring authors, self-published authors, publishers, agents, and assorted interesting personalities. Our first interview is a good one with Patrick Smith of Salon.com. In addition to being a regular columnist and commercial airline pilot, Patrick is a published author having published his first book in 2004. Unfortunately, his dream of becoming a published author became yet another cautionary tale of woe in dealing with the traditional publishing business. His story is definitely worth a listen in your earbuds for anyone who aspires to signing a deal with a traditional publisher.
