“I have a dumb idea, but it also might be brilliant.”
Russell Nohelty has been pitching this idea to people for years with lackluster results until he met Lee Savino at The Future of Publishing Mastermind and they vibed together.
The idea is as simple as it is complex. Even though Russell is a USA Today bestselling author whose made over $500,000 on Kickstarter alone, almost none of his 40+ novels are on retailers. In fact, his three most popular series (The Godsverse Chronicles, The Obsidian Spindle Saga, and Dragon Strife) which have accounted for hundreds of thousands in Kickstarter and direct sales, have never been put on retailers at all.
When Lee heard that she just about fell out of her seat, but then she fell in love with the idea of launching them live through a podcast and talking through all the ups and downs with people as they happen.
So, after a first meeting that went so well they decided to record it, Lee and Russell started a podcast with the express intent to launch his series The Godsverse Chronicles on retailers, failing and succeeding along the way to help you launch better books.
Even though it started as a retailer centric show, it has evolved to include the entire indie author industry, including Kickstarter, Substack, Patreon, Shopify, and much more.
Join Russell, Lee, and oodles of special guests as they show you how to launch books better and create your first, or next, six-figure opportunity.
