Serious, but often un-published, authors who decide to deliver their novels via podcasts are starting to get some mainstream media recognition. Thanks to the talent, hard work, and tireless marketing of leading podcast authors such as Scott Sigler, Tee Morris, Mark Jeffrey, and J. C. Hutchins, podcast novels landed a wonderfull article in the New York Times! 

 After being snubbed by publishers for years, Mr. Sigler began recording his first book, “EarthCore,” in 2005. He offered it as a podcast in 22 episodes (roughly 45 minutes each) that he posted online and sent free to subscribers for downloading. Before long, Mr. Sigler had 5,000 listeners; by the time he finished releasing his second novel, “Ancestor,” last January, he had 30,000, as he does for “The Rookie,” which is playing now.

 Thanks to all of the podcasting novelists (and supporters such as podiobooks.com) I am deciding to podcast my novels… let’s see if I can garner even a small percentage of the following that they have earned for their works!
