Sound Authors Let's Authors Sound Off

The release below is from a radio show I will be appearing on Friday. Followers of this blog will want to know about it to query for spots of their own but also because they frequently feature authors with ideas and information about the publishing industry and that fits in with my mantra, we need to learn everything we can about the business we're in! (-: I'll be appearing this Friday.


OPENPRESS) March 19, 2008 -- Each Friday at 1PM Eastern Standard Time, Sound Authors radio show features live interviews and readings from all varieties of authors, known and not-yet-known; all soon-to-be bestselling authors from all walks of life, from Hollywood actors to marathoners, to PhD therapists or life coaches.
