Hello Happy People,

Welcome to our holiday hiatus episodes between our regular podcast seasons. Normally we play "The Best of" shows from the season that is ending, but this year we are bringing you interviews we recorded live at the Frankfurter Buchmesse in Frankfurt, Germany. This Buchmesse is the world's largest publishing convention and with these interviews we barely scratched the surface of the incredible vendors attending this conference.

In today's show you will hear Dianne Burckhardt conducting interviews on the convention floor with these companies. They discuss business practices and products these companies provide.

Independent Publisher Group (iPg)
IPG is the original independent distributor of books, ebooks, and audiobooks from publishers around the world, and a top 10 supplier of book content to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, independent bookstores, libraries, and specialty markets, in addition to thousands of retailers globally.

Wroteby.me
Django is intimately familiar with the many challenges authors face as they try to reach their target market and sell their books. As an author himself, he has had to navigate the minefield of social media marketing, website building, SEO requirements, and more just to get his book in front of the right audience. With the creation of wroteby.me, Django is working to help authors reach their target markets. Quite often, as authors begin to build their writing careers, they start with little to no marketing budget. By partnering with wroteby.me, authors can save money on start-up costs when it comes to their online presence.

Enjoy,
Dianne and the Book Banter Productions Crew

PLEASE NOTE:  these interviews are all recorded live on the convention floor. There is of course background noise due to the numerous amount of convention goers around us. We did our best to clean up the sound for you. We are looking into new technology to bring you even better sound next year. These are also minimally edited just to clean up the sound.
