We had a great time interviewing Tao in front of a live audience and getting to answer listener questions in real time. We\u2019re excited to present the complete interview to you now (with all the ambient sounds you might expect from a conference\u2026 it\u2019s as if you\u2019re really there)!   We spoke to Tao about his writing career, why he started the Toronto Indie Author Conference, his thoughts on book marketing, the challenges Canadian indie authos face, and much more! Thanks again to Tao and all of the organizers involved in making a wonderful weekend of indie author-led talks, workshops, and roundtables happen \u2013 the KWL team had a great time and we are looking forward to next year.   If you are a Canadian indie author interested in learning more about the Toronto Indie Author Conference, there's no better place to start than an interview with Tao!
