Would love to read a follow-up post. And if you can't do it here, please do it on your blog, which I'm now aware of. This kind of free information from someone who's been there (and isn't a scifi/fantasy god like the guys on Podiobooks) is priceless. Thanks so much, Emma. Would love to read a follow-up post.

I was just one of the thousands of writers out there blogging about being frustrated by trying to get published. There are more readers and listeners now, and a book deal, but I don't think having a small readership should deter anyone from podcasting. In fact, the very thought that only a few people would judge my podcasts was quite reassuring when I started. If I had thousands reading my site every day, I might have been too nervous to start! I have a few answers to your question, perhaps I should ask Maria if I could do a follow-up post addressing those very things... (assumes big-eyed hopefulness of Puss-in-Boots cat from Shrek 2).

Just repeat what you were trying to say again. You might want to make a particularly loud noise just before you try again for easy identification when you edit your recording. When you finish recording, just look at the wave form, and you will see the loud noises you make as big spikes. That lets you quickly find the areas to clean up. Otherwise, you can waste an entire day trying to get a perfect take. TIP: Instead of stopping and starting again, keep the recording going when you make mistakes.

But do you have any tips about how to build an audience for a podcast of an unknown novel by an unknown author? How does the audience find out out about the podcasts (if you don't have a much-trafficked WP blog yet)? Is there a clearinghouse for podcasts that isn't overrun by big names? And do you suggest doing a chapter-by-chapter podcast of the book before self-publishing it as a book and an e-book, or can the podcast come later? Thanks for these good tips for us beginners, Emma.

Before I publish my YA series, someone suggested I gain an audience first by podcasting. I've decided to do so, but plan to go through someone who's been doing it for a while. I don't want it to be just my voice, though. I want to have other voices, too (it's YA so I want to have young voices reading the parts). Thanks for this post.
