SPP 082 – Censorship and Compromising Your Work




The Story Studio Podcast - Writing, Storytelling, and Marketing Advice for Writers & Business show

Summary: This week, we talked about an article we read about censorship by major booksellers and the corresponding self-censorship that some authors are doing to keep their books visible. We also talked about the "chilling effect" that occurs when authors start to watch what they say. We also had two requests this week, for those of you who are awesome enough to be our listeners and want to support us: 1. We need to get the first in our co-authored series The Future of Sex with Lexi Maxxwell price-matched as free, and we need your help to do it. Please go here to see it on Amazon, then scroll down to the "product details" (below the row of "customers also bought" images), and click the final text link in that section, just above the reviews… the one that says "tell us about a lower price." Then fill it out and give Amazon this link, which is the same product for free on B&N. 2. If you have a website, a podcast, or access to a group of writers on social media and would be willing to help us spread the word about our "how to build a career in self publishing" book Write. Publish. Repeat. when it launches on December 5-6, we'd love to send you a beta copy for review. If writing such a review (or generally getting the word out) would be appropriate with your audience, please just contact us and let us know! And THANKS!
