Innovative strategies are key to connecting authors with their audience. Atticus Publishing firmly believes in the power of podcasts as a platform to bridge the gap between authors and readers. Podcasts offer an intimate and engaging way for authors to narrate their stories and insights, thus forging a personal connection with potential readers.
The Expanding Role of Podcasts in Book Promotion:
Podcasts are increasingly becoming a pivotal tool in book marketing. They provide authors with a direct channel to reach a dedicated and engaged audience. The conversational nature of podcasts allows for in-depth discussions, enabling authors to explore the nuances of their work, the underlying themes, and personal anecdotes that shaped their writing. This level of engagement can pique listeners' interest and inspire them to explore the author's work further.
Key Benefits of Podcasting for Authors:
Expanded Reach: Podcasts tap into diverse audiences, often global, providing authors with an opportunity to reach listeners they wouldn't through traditional media.
Engaged Audiences: Podcast listeners are often seeking in-depth content, making them more likely to be interested in the depth that books offer.
Personal Connection: Speaking directly to an audience helps build a personal connection, making listeners more invested in the author's work.
Versatility and Convenience: Podcasts can be consumed on the go, making them a convenient medium for busy audiences.
Long-Term Visibility: Podcast episodes remain accessible long after publication, providing ongoing exposure.

Q&A with Calvin Cassady:
Q1: How did your experience go with Atticus Publishing during the podcast tour?
Calvin: The podcast tour is my best opportunity to market my book. It gives an additional layer to a marketing campaign. It offers you the opportunity to interact with a varied group of hosts and the experience offers validation of your work as a writer.
Q2: Could you share a standout experience from your time on the podcast tour?
Calvin: Nothing is more exciting than sharing your stories and feelings with a host who is anxiously awaiting your responses. A couple of my appearances stand out. The first was on an international podcast hosted by a young missionary charged with ministering to young people. There was so much energy in that production. Knowing that your ministry was connected to a larger ministry in Brazil was exciting. The host told me that my material was just what he needed. He was going to share it with a large gathering of young people later that day. What a great production. The second was hosted by a consultant with a counseling service in California. We shared emails before the show, and ha said he just couldn’t wait to talk. When you find it easy to talk about your work with others, it strengthens your belief in your brand.
Q3: In your opinion, how is the importance of podcasts changing in the context of promoting books?
Calvin: I think podcast tours help fill in the blanks with potential readers. You and your host can examine in a more intricate manner the heart of your work. It is my favorite form of advertising.
Q4: What recommendations would you offer to authors who are thinking about embarking on a podcast tour?
Calvin: I would advise authors at any level to spend the money on a solid marketing plan. The podcast tour gives you a chance to present your project actively and personally to unknown potential readers. It also prepares you for book programs and book talks. I also believe that unknown authors will get more for their advertising dollars with a podcast tour.
