All Things Writing

Welcome to All Things Writing!This will be my final episode on this format. For a variety of reasons I have decided to just shut down the show on this platform and move my interviews over to Youtube. The reasons are simple. It is going to take less stress out of the work that has to be done for the show. I know somepeople are going to be sad about this. But you can follow me on @bryanthewriter on Youtube and see what I have going on there. See you later and thank you all for listening. I have had a ton of fun with the show and I will miss doing it.Look for all my new releases on Youtube and my website www.bryannowak.comSupport the showThank you for listening.

It has been a while since I went completely off the cuff and just ranted about whatever was on my mind. On this week's episode I am going to talk about why I want more subscribers on Patreon, but maybe the right kind of subscribers.I want to build a relationship with people. That does not mean that I want a one and done kind of interaction. No! I want super-fans. The kind that come to my table at shows because they need my latest book and they bring friends. That means more to me than just money. It means I am connected with that person in a very real way!Sit back, relax, and enjoy the latest episode of All Things Writing!Support the showThank you for listening.
