About this episode
The Martian, by Andy Weir. 50 Shades of Grey, by EL James. The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield. Milk and Honey, by Rupi Kaur. All these works of literature are now quite well known, some on the border of being cultural phenomena. Both The Martian and 50 Shades of Grey have adapted into highly successful motion pictures. Milk and Honey, Kaur’s collection of poetry and abstract fiction, has sold over 3 million copies. Redfield’s The Celestine Prophecy has been translated into over 30 languages.
Despite their disparate subject matter, all four of these works intersect at a meaningful point–they were all initially self-published. These, along with a plethora of other success stories, serve as inspiration for a multitude of aspiring authors who have chosen to self-publish their work. Our podcast Homespun Script is dedicated to telling their stories, talking with them about their work, and listening to their experiences as self-published authors.
So, join us each episode as we interview a new indie or self-published author. You might just hear their name a bit more often in the future.
