About this listen
In this engaging deep dive, our hosts unravel the inspiring journey of fantasy author Adam Beswick, as profiled in Indie Author Magazine. Together, they explore how Beswick broke free from the "gilded cage" of Amazon and built a six-figure publishing empire—without relying on traditional retailers or paid ads.
Listeners get an inside look at Beswick's innovative "reader-first" model, which replaces algorithmic reliance with personal connection and live selling via platforms like TikTok. We walk through Adam's transformation from bedtime storyteller to warehouse-running publisher, sharing actionable insights about organic marketing, authenticity in content, and the evolving landscape of indie publishing.
Whether you're an author hoping to reclaim your audience or simply curious about the future of book sales, this episode offers both practical strategies and food for thought.
