Stepping Into the Artisan Age with Kevin Tumlinson

The Author Wheel Podcast

What makes a reader experience? How do you build a sustainable author career?

We're thrilled to have Kevin Tumlinson back on the show this week to talk about what he's coined "The Artisan Age." If you follow the podcast you know that we interviewed Kevin for our first episode of 2024, but we felt like we didn't have time to cover all the issues we wanted to talk about, including the rise of the reader experience and decline of the rapid release model.
If you're a writer looking to build a long-term author career, this is truly a conversation you won't want to miss.
Kevin Tumlinson is an award-winning and bestselling author of hundreds of books crafted to thrill and inspire. He recently left the role of CEO for BookSweeps, and is now helping to inspire writers as the industry seems to be shifting from a rapid release model to what Kevin has coined “The Artisan Age.” Kevin is known as the Voice of Indie Publishing for his work in podcasts, conferences, public speaking, and consulting for authors. Every day he helps and encourages hundreds of thousands of will-be and established authors around the globe.
