New Podcast Episode: How a Six-Figure Indie Author Streamlines Production and Distribution
Ever wondered how some indie authors manage to publish multiple books a year, keep readers hooked, and still take time to travel?
That’s exactly what I asked Australian author Fiona Tarr, who’s gone from publishing her first fantasy novel in 2014 to earning six figures from her mystery and crime series today.
In this Self-Publishing with ALLi podcast episode, Fiona shares the production systems and distribution strategies that keep her business running smoothly—from 30-day drafting cycles and trusted beta teams to smart pre-order strategies that balance wide and exclusive publishing.
We also dive into library distribution, audiobooks, translations, and the lessons she learned after a few early missteps (including the dreaded first-book editing regrets!).
If you’re ready to add more strategy, structure, and sustainability to your author business, this one’s packed with inspiration and practical takeaways.
