In addition, he wrote the Molly Fyde and Beacon 23 series, and is currently working on the next installment of the Wool universe.</p><p><br></p><p>We had a great chat with Hugh about his career, and heard about the brave and ultimately life-changing decision he made to self-publish his own works (which in turn led to him turning down $1m dollars to keep the rights to Wool). He offers a unique and fascinating insight into the world of publishing, talks about why there should be no stigma around self-publishing and why Amazon can be good for writers and readers.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Links:</strong></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hugh-Howey/e/B002RX4S5Q\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Buy Hugh's books now</a></p><p><a href=\"https://hughhowey.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Visit Hugh's website</a></p><p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/hughhowey\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Follow Hugh on Twitter</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>The Page One Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.
