Writers, Ink Podcast: Nick Cutter and Andrew F. Sullivan Explain the Pros and Cons of Co-Authoring

BookTrib is proud to present to our readers the Writers, Ink podcast, a show about the business of writing.

J.K. Rowling was nearly homeless when she wrote the first Harry Potter book. Stephen King penned Carrie on a small desk wedged between a washer and dryer. James Patterson worked in advertising and famously wrote the Toys “R” Us theme song long before becoming an author.

Whether you’re traditionally published or indie, writing a good book is only the first step in becoming a successful author. The days of just turning a manuscript in to your editor and walking away are gone. If you want to succeed in today’s publishing world, you need to understand every aspect of the business — editing, formatting, marketing, contracts. It all starts with a good book, then the real work begins.

Join international bestselling author J.D. Barker and indie powerhouse Zach Bohannon, as they gain unique insight and valuable advice from the most prolific and accomplished authors in the business.

This Week’s Episode

Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, Kevin Tumlinson, and Patrick O’Donnell as they discuss the week’s publishing topics, including some thoughts on Twitter’s sudden (and ill-advised?) rebranding. Then stick around as Kevin chats with horror authors Nick Cutter and Andrew F. Sullivan!

Nick Cutter is the author of the critically acclaimed national bestseller The Troop (which is currently being developed for film with producer James Wan), as well as The Deep and Little Heaven. Andrew F. Sullivan is the author of The Marigold, a novel about a city eating itself, available now from ECW Press. Their latest project — a first collaboration between these two longtime friends — is called The Handyman Method, and releases August 8, 2023, from Gallery / Saga Press.
