Buy me a coffee
Welcome to Paul's Podcast Diary for Saturday 13th May, 2017.
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.
Note: This episode contains some pretty mild cussing, but if you're very sensitive or have kids around, you may like to listen with caution.
