Sinopsis

Less rush. More freedom. A way to love writing again.áIf modern indie publishing feels like a high-stress race to the bottom, the good news is thereâÇÖs another way.Most authors start writing for the love of it, but in recent years the reality of 'writing for a living' has soured. Now, for a lot of us, it no longer looks fun - or creatively fulfilling - at all.áYou have to obey genres exactly or your books wonâÇÖt sell. If you step outside your lane and try something new, the kinds of readers most authors court will never buy it. And then thereâÇÖs the SPEED of it all:áThe rules of 'Rapid Release' say you have to publish a book every month -áat leastá- or youâÇÖll never survive.áForget about taking a vacation. Time off will let the algorithms forget you.áEven successful authors often find themselves in 'golden handcuffs': selling a lot of books, but only in a series they now have to write forever. And all that to earn around a dollar per book ... sold to readers who are far more loyal to Kindle Unlimited than to you.áWhereâÇÖs the joy? WhereâÇÖs the delight that got you into storytelling in the first place?áRemember when writing felt like a creative playground instead of a grind? What if, instead of succumbing to that grind, you could find a way to be creative and free ...áwithoutáhaving to settle for poverty?InáThe Artisan Author,áindustry veteran Johnny B. Truant offers an alternative to Rapid Release: a new way to succeed as an author without sacrificing your freedom, worrying about competition or AI, or fearing youâÇÖll lose everything when the winds - or the algorithms - inevitably change.The way of the Artisan Author is the opposite of Rapid Release. Instead of rushing to churn out the same-old same-old, Artisans follow their muse and write whatever they want. Instead of stressing out, Artisans take their time, putting as much care and beauty into their work as they desire. ItâÇÖs a way to build a substantial, sustainable, bulletproof income based on Kevin KellyâÇÖs idea of '1000 True Fans': readers who are loyal toáyou, not any platform. True Fans are all you need to earn as much as you want as an author. TheyâÇÖre people with whom you build genuine human connections ... and who therefore love you enough to spend far more than ordinary readers will ever spend.Johnny B. Truant has been a thought leader in the independent publishing community for over a decade, hosting the originaláSelf Publishing Podcast, holding the Smarter Artist Summit conference, and co-authoring the industry bibleáWrite. Publish. Repeat. InáThe Artisan Author,áJohnny presents an art-first, quality-over-quantity alternative to Rapid Release for writers who thought sacrificing creative joy was the only way to succeed.áItâÇÖs not, though. ItâÇÖs wonderful over here on the artfully profitable side of writing. Join us, will you?
