<p>In the first episode of Odyssey of a Novel Podcast, I sat down with Jules Dyrud, the author of Majesties, the first in a four-part fantasy series. Jules is a self-published author and also a full-time Middle School Language Arts Teacher. She tells me all about what writing means to her, why she thinks her writing routine is crazy, and how a difficult moment in her classroom was the impetus for her now-published book.</p><p>Majesties tells the story of Kwyn, a former slave turned Finder. She’s been given the task of finding the very first Melder to exist in over 200 years. The reward will be enough money for Kwyn to buy the life she’s always wanted and live out the rest of her days in peace. But when she finally finds the Melder, they are just a six-year-old girl. Kwyn must decide whether or not she will turn the child in to give herself the future she always wanted at the cost of the child’s own, or defy the realm to try and save them both. </p><p>Paid Subscribers who are interested will have the opportunity to win a FREE copy of Jules’ book.

<p>As I navigate the waters of publishing, I am torn between the traditional publishing route and self-publishing. But every time I speak to a self-published author, I find myself inspired by their story, their belief in themselves, and always wanting to learn more. </p><p>One night, in a deep slumber (when all my best ideas come to me and also when I find solutions for all of the world’s problems), I had a thought. What if I tapped into the audio post feature on Substack to interview self-published authors? I could ask them how they got their start in writing, where their brilliant ideas come from, and all about the journey that led to a printed book. Thus, the Odyssey of a Novel podcast was born.</p><p>Please enjoy this short intro episode while I interview my very first author, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/julesdyrud/">Jules Dyrud</a>! </p> <br/><br/>Get full access to An Independent Writer's Survival Guide at <a href="https://emilyebaker.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">emilyebaker.substack.com/subscribe</a>
