 Podcasting for Writers and Other Creative
EntrepreneursBy C.M. Mayo  Listen to C.M. Mayo's podcast of the introduction "What a charming little manual—and what a delightful way to learn about podcasting! Coming at it with full understanding of the hesitancy others may feel about attempting to podcast, [Mayo] provides encouraging words, makes her instructions clear and straight-forward, and provides many tips that will help others head off glitches at the pass. In addition to her “easy peasy” ten steps, which are just that, readers are treated to the choice images, ingenious similes, and clever humor that are this writer’s hallmarks. Learn about podcasting while Mayo calls into your mind images of guitarists with mutton chops, Edith Wharton blogging, and kids at pond-side tiddlywinking peas. The book is packed with resources, and the collection of interviews with other writer-podcasters in the appendices are wonderful. If you have a yen to podcast, grab this book and your voice will be on line before the tiddlywink hits the pond." Sara Mansfield Taber
