EP 192: Interview with Sarina Langer, author and podcaster

Today, we have an amazing guest: writer and podcast Sarina Langer!

I, Imelda Wei Ding Lo (a.k.a. Fortunus Games), have previously been on her podcast, The Writing Sparrow podcast, which is all about writing, publishing, and marketing your book. It’s a great resource for indie writers of all stripes. On her podcast, I talked about how to write and publish graphic novels, since I’ve self-published two graphic novels, “The Book of Joel” and “Sam in New York.” I’ve included a link in the description.

So, onto our guest’s bio! Sarina Langer is a dark fantasy author of both epic and urban paranormal novels.

In her free time, she usually reads one audiobook, one ebook, and one paperback (one for every occasion), plays video games, and obsesses over mythology. She has a weakness for books on writing and pretty words. You can follow her on Twitter @sarina_langer.

I, Imelda Wei Ding Lo (Fortunus Games), asked Sarina the following questions:

1. Can you tell us about your current projects? What books are you working on, and which will be released in the next couple of months?
2. How would you describe the process of releasing a book? How is the process of finding an editor like, and what should your relationship with your editor be like?
3. How do you find releasing a digital book versus releasing a physical copy? How is releasing an audiobook like?
4. How do you approach marketing when it comes to your books? How do you pump up hype for your books, and what role do social media and newsletters play in marketing? Are physical events like book fairs useful in this time and age? Are they worth the cost, in your view?
