Sorry can't find your contact info to send this directly...

I host the BookSmart Podcast, focusing on the works of independent authors, and am always looking people to feature. Are you able to tell your readers, who are likely among the many self-publishied writers out there, to contact me if they want to be interviewed?

The best email is: judd@longtailbooks.com

If you want to hear some of my past podcasts, go to: longtalebooks.com

Once there, you'll see links to the podcasts I've done thus far.

The feed can be accessed at: longtalebooks.com/booksmart/podcast.xml

For what it's worth, the self-published author featured in my first podcast estimates he has sold over 60 books in 2.5 weeks as a result of the interview.

Thanks!
