Today’s Guest

I first discovered today's guest, Joanna Penn, back when I launched my Tribal Publishing business in 2012. She was clearly one of the top names in self publishing, and I've been following her ever since. If you've ever thought of writing a book, either fiction or non-fiction, you'll want to follow Joanna via her blog and her social media profiles. She shares a wealth of information about both writing and marketing your books.
