Paul Millerd, writer, creator and consultant, joins us to discuss playing the long game as an internet-native writer—going from blog posts to self-publishing books on your own terms, and share some lessons he learned along his journey. What does the spectrum of publishing models look like? How can writers harness the upsides of self-publishing?
