Pubslush was founded by mother and daughter entrepreneurs, Hellen and Amanda Barbara. Pubslush is a global pre-publication platform that offers crowdfunding and pre-order options for authors and publishers. Amanda and her mother were inspired to create a more democratic publishing process after learning about the struggles of authors like J.K. Rowling, whose bestselling series was rejected by the 12 publishers to which it was initially sent. So many great authors have been dismissed to the infamous "slush pile." The Pubslush name is derived from their mission to give authors the opportunity to get out of the slush pile, prove their talent and market viability, and successfully publish quality books.\r\nAmanda and I talk about \r\n\r\nWhat can Pubslush do for writers?\r\nHow Pubslush can be a launch pad for your writing career.\r\nWhat do if you're looking for a spot to gain fans.\r\nHow your fans get an email when your book is ready.\r\nWhy Pubslush is not just another crowd funding platform.\r\nHow is it completely risk free for the authors?\r\nHow they monetize! (Great for writers!)\r\nFinding your reader data.\r\nDo writers need a contract?\r\n","author_name":"Brain Burps About Books","author_url":"http:\/\/katiedavis.com\/podcast\/","html":"
