How A Young Fantasy Author Builds Book Sales

Tyler Snure started building his fantasy world as a kid, published at a young age, and now maps his future toward becoming a full-time author.  In this episode, we talked about what that really looks like day-to-day: writing when your schedule is packed, staying consistent when distractions are everywhere, and making peace with the fact that big goals are built from small, repeatable sessions. Tyler walked me through how he learned the publishing process, where he outsourced (like cover design and illustration), and why the self-publishing path fits his personality better than traditional publishing timelines.  If you’re researching Amazon KDP, indie publishing, or how to publish a book without an agent, you’ll hear a grounded, practical perspective from someone actively doing the work.  Tyler shared why podcasts and interviews have been his most successful marketing channels, how he chooses which shows to pitch, and why a broad marketing mix helps you identify your highest-return efforts.  If you enjoy conversations about the writing life, self-publishing, and smart book promotion, subscribe, leave a review, and share this podcast with a fellow book lover.
