As someone fairly new to novel writing and marketing, this podcast is absolutely brilliant. There is so much useful information and revealing of important things that you didn't even know about. And Thomas Umstattd Jr is a fantastic host and the show is always exceptionally well produced. I like the mix of sessions with just Thomas and then others with a guest. So if you're starting out, my advice is to listen to some of these podcasts first to count the cost of becoming an author. It's not an easy road to take, but with Thomas at the helm the journey will be a lot easier.
