Greg Ioannou runs a hybrid publishing house Iguana Books and uses his crowdfunding platform PubLaunch to help authors fund their books before publication. You can use it, too. He's expanding the company to provide a marketplace to not only serve Iguana Books but the larger author-publisher community.

In this episode, we talk about how PubLaunch works and we also discuss author expectations about readership. Do you expect to launch a bestseller or is yours a niche book for a limited audience? Greg and I talk about how to manage and defray costs using your early readers, author platform, and fan base... all before you publish.

Episode notes

In our conversation we talk about hybrid publishing, how to recruit a quality publishing team, and what it really takes to crowdfund a book. Other PubLaunch features, including the supplier marketplace, will be launched later in 2018. You'll hear about that, too, and some surprising facts the PubLaunch team discovered when putting editors through a qualification test.

Meantime, check out their learning center, especially if you are are considering crowdfunding your book. Not considering crowdfunding? Maybe you should!
