Flor Ana Mireles, founder of Indie Earth Publishing, is the guest on the latest episode of The Miami Book Hub, hosted by Javier A. Betancourt. The podcast was posted by Miami’s Community Newspapers.
The conversation covers the differences among traditional, self and hybrid publishing, a model Mireles says many Miami writers are turning to. She describes her company as a publisher for writers, run by a writer, and says she adapts to each author’s needs.
Topics include retaining creative control and royalties, marketing and social media, and the challenge of getting books into physical stores. The episode also outlines a step-by-step path for new authors who already have a manuscript.
For Miami-area writers weighing how to get published, the episode offers a plain overview of the options and what each one asks of the author. Future episodes are planned to feature more writers, publishers and literary voices in the Miami book community.
