Now, in addition to being editors at The Darling Axe, they are successfully self-publishing their co-authored craft books.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Between the two of them, David and Michelle write and publish in nearly every genre: picture books, YA, fantasy, sci-fi, satire, historical, nonfiction, and even poetry. We talk about their experiences with agents and traditional publishing, as well as their experiences with small presses and self-publishing. And, of course, we discuss David’s decision to found his company, The Darling Axe, which provides editing, novel development, and other services for writers.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h2>The Long Road to Publishing with Eva Langston:</h2><ul><li>Follow me on<a href=\"https://substack.com/@evalangston?utm_source=user-menu\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Substack</a> or subscribe to my<a href=\"https://evalangston.substack.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Substack Newsletter for Writers</a>.</li><li>Find me on<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/evalangston/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Instagram</a> and<a href=\"https://bsky.app/profile/evalangston.bsky.social\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Blue Sky</a>.</li><li>Send me an email at longroad.pub@gmail.com</li><li>To pitch to the podcast, <a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffTVgjx1w5OVa0BWBHn95p3m1-dWZaTjUdQK_lRP-LiiZE0w/viewform?usp=header\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">go here</a></li><li>Find books by guests and books mentioned on the podcast at the Long Road Bookshop: <a href=\"https://bookshop.org/shop/evalangston\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://bookshop.org/shop/evalangston</a></li><li>The Long Road to Publishing is sponsored by Wonderland Books: <a href=\"https://www.wonderlandbooks.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.wonderlandbooks.com/</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h2>David Griffin Brown:</h2><ul><li><strong>The Darling Axe: </strong>www.DarlingAxe.com (Michelle and David's co-authored books can be found here)</li><li><strong>Website:</strong> www.SeptimusBrown.com</li><li>@SeptimusBrown and @DarlingAxe on most platforms</li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><h2>Michelle Barker:</h2><ul><li><strong>Website:</strong>www.michellebarker.ca</li><li>https://substack.com/@michbark</li><li><a href=\"https://michellebarker.ca/books/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://michellebarker.ca/books/</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><h2>Show Notes:</h2><ul><li>Book Broker Agent Interviews: <a href=\"https://darlingaxe.com/blogs/news/tagged/agent-interviews\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://darlingaxe.com/blogs/news/tagged/agent-interviews</a></li><li>Book mention: Story Genius by Lisa Cron</li><li>Shoutouts to Orca Books, Annick Press, Victory Co-op for Netgalley, Storygraph, Invisible Ink Editing, Gail Anderson Dargatz, and The University of British Columbia MFA</li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><h3>Credits:</h3><p>The Long Road to Publishing is sponsored by Wonderland Books.
