Listen "#20 This Indie Author Didn't Just Break The Rules- He Burned Them"
Episode Synopsis
This Indie Author has broken all the rules, and carved a cult-like readership with his incredible horror series & marketing tactics.
How to Build a Cult-Like Following with Genius Branding & Great Books
Michael went from writing in obscurity to being called “the next Stephen King” by readers—yes, really. His covers, titles, and vibe? Total masterclass in standing out on a crowded shelf (and he does it all indie).
Originally from London, UK, he moved to the U.S. to assist with Spotify’s launch. And after turning to writing, he's received praise from none other than, TOM HOLLAND himself (the award-winning director and screenwriter of Fright Night & Chucky) who praised Michael's first book as "s a chilling masterpiece that captivates and terrifies in equal measure. Truly amazing."
