Welcome to Paul's Podcast Diary for Saturday 2nd November, 2019.
Coming up this week:
- NaNoWriMo has begun – I’ll let you know my day one word count
- I’ll be revealing the number of books I sold in October and September as part of my rapid release schedule
- And I have BookBub news, this time for one of my sci-fi books
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 you're new to the podcast and want to easily access the back catalogue of podcast diaries, in chronological order, please check out this page.

IN TOOTH AND CLAW goes to #1 in the UK and #3 in the US Amazon store today so far, in the free horror short story category, thanks to a very affordable @book_doggy ad. Thanks @PaulTeagueUK @kendallreviews @josephwordsmith @Ross1982 @adrianwalker @SelfPubForm @ pic.twitter.com/zr3AtPfvu0

@PaulTeagueUK listening to the new episode while doing my Sunday night ironing.
I’m planning on going to the SPF live event as well as the London Book Fair if work allows it and I look forward to meeting you there!
I’m also in Japan and here’s a view from my balcony 😊 pic.twitter.com/2MADR8QHyG

About time I posted a nice autumnal photo of my own … I love it when the leaves are changing, such beautiful colours pic.twitter.com/xonUFEPJvo
