Pull Up A Chair and Tell Me A Story!
FANTASTIC NEWS! As our audience grows, I am expanding the podcast to offer more support for Indie Authored Books! This program is not just for authors anymore! The goal of the podcast is to help Indie Authors share their work with greater reach. To that end, I am now inviting Indie Authors, Illustrators, Adult Fans, and Young Readers to share their favorite Indie Authored books!
Indie Reads Aloud Adult Reader Edition: I've heard from listeners that they have discovered a great story written by an Indie Author, and they would love to read a bit of it on the program, as a way to help that author gain more exposure. I think that's a fabulous idea! So now, Indie Authors, Illustrators, and their Adult Fans are all invited to share Indie Authored books on the program... not necessarily written by the Adult Reader, themselves! You can read almost any genre on the podcast... Novels, Poetry, Non-Fiction, How-To, Memoir, Children's Fiction... the works! I know some of you aren't comfortable reading "on the air", but if you've got an adult friend who would love a shot at micro-stardom, this is their chance! This is also a great opportunity for you, as an Indie Author, to share the love, and perhaps read a bit of an author friend's work, to help them reach more readers. Remember, we are all colleagues, not competitors!
Indie Reads Aloud Young Readers Edition. I am inviting Young Readers to come on the podcast and Read Aloud. Reading is one of the most valuable skills young people can acquire, and I want to support their growth in literacy. Giving Young Readers an opportunity to Read Aloud, and share why they enjoyed a book is a fun way to encourage them to become life-long readers. I know a lot of you Indie Authors are introverts, and you're not tremendously comfortable reading aloud. But, I also know a lot of you have young readers in your lives who are extroverts and would love the opportunity to share their theatrical and reading skills on the podcast to support your writing career. So, this is their chance! Young Readers must be between 10 and 18 years old, and the book they read must be written by an Indie Author. ***One safety note: Young Readers must have a parent or guardian present during the recording session.
Let's make storytelling a tremendous adventure!

Indie Authors & Young Readers: Are You Ready To Read Aloud?
- I am happy to welcome Indie Author Storytellers from anywhere on planet Earth! However, you must read your story aloud in English.
- Indie Reads Aloud Storytellers must read Indie Authored Books, only. I define an Indie Author as a "self-published" author or an author who publishes with a small press imprint, not affiliated with a Traditional Publishing House, who publishes fewer than 50 titles per year.
- Complete the form below, and you'll receive a recording date within three days.
- All Recording Sessions are conducted using Zoom. Please allow approximately an hour to complete the full episode recording (which includes equipment testing and any questions you may have.) You must pre-register at least 24 hours before the recording session. If you do not, the session will be canceled and rescheduled. Please contact me as soon as possible if you need to reschedule your recording session to a more convenient date and time.
- Indie Authors, Illustrators, and Young Readers may Read Aloud on multiple podcast episodes, however, a separate form must be completed for each title. All readers understand that each episode will air separately, and no promise is made to "batch" record or air multiple episodes congruently for a single author. I want to keep the podcast as diverse as possible to make it more interesting for listeners.
- Adult Readers and Parents/Guardians of Young Readers are expected to help promote not only their individual podcast episode, but also the podcast program in general, on your website, social media channels, and newsletters... it is the best way for all of us to reach more readers.
- This podcast is offered to Indie Authors Free of charge, as an assist to your marketing platform. But, if you'd like to make a donation to help sustain the program and help defray my production costs, I would greatly appreciate the help.
- If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at Diana@DKPWriter.com BEFORE you complete the form below.
