I have been listening to the Self-Publishing Podcast for nearly a year and have learnt huge amounts in that time. Johnny, Sean and Dave are spokespeople for the new generation of writers-publishers who are changing how we write and read stories. I applaud everything they do and will continue to support them, if only because following them gives me a regular kick up the backside to JUST GET ON WITH IT.

Gush over. I will now review Write, Publish, Repeat.

Written in Johnny (and Sean's) unapologetic no-nonsense (and yet very generous) style, the book begins with a number of disclosures and disclaimers about what the book is and isn't going to do. Take heed of these and then get stuck in to what is a rollercoaster of information and personal experience about the nitty gritty of building a business as an indie author. While there were few lightbulb moments thanks to having paid attention to the last 12 months of podcasts, there were more than a handful of quotes that I have highlighted and will return to for future inspiration/guidance/ass-kicking. You cannot underestimate the value of that to someone like me who feels so stupidly excited but also desperately scared of my future as an author-publisher.

While the boys do labour some points more than is necessary and the real magic of this book could have been delivered in half the number of words, I finished it as I began it - wishing that you could bottle their knowledge, enthusiasm and passion so the rest of us could take a sip.
