Buy me a coffee
Welcome to Paul's Podcast Diary for Monday 18th July 2016.
This diary charts my self-publishing journey – the ups the downs, the successes and the failures.
Everything goes into this diary, week-by-week, but you'll also find it a source of great tips, resources, tools, podcast recommendations and so on.
If I ever miss something out, or you'd like more information, just drop me an email at paul@paulteague.com.

Recommended Online Event [9th-11th September 2016]
The Festival of Writing is held every year.
This year it’s at at the University of York, in September.
It’s not a self-publishing event, but as a self-published author, I got immense value from this event last year.
I will be attending all weekend this year, I hope to see you there!
