The Darling Axe on The Long Road to Publishing podcast

Darling Axe senior editors featured on Eva Langston's Long Road to Publishing podcast

Editors & Co-Authors Writing in Many Genres

Season 2, Ep. 39

David Griffin Brown and Michelle Barker have both been on long journeys to publishing their novels. Now, in addition to being editors at The Darling Axe, we are successfully self-publishing our co-authored craft books. 

Between the two of us, 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 our experiences with agents and traditional publishing, as well as our experiences with small presses and self-publishing. And, of course, we discuss David’s decision to found the Darling Axe.
