Traditional fantasy publishing is dying—and indie author John A. Douglas (@JohnADouglas) explains exactly why male readers are fleeing en masse from modern bookstores.

From a bullied homeschooled kid to becoming a successful self-published fantasy author, John won’t stay quiet about how publishers actively alienate their core audience. Now indie authors are creating the epic fantasy adventures that traditional publishers refuse to publish, and the future of literature depends on writers who aren't afraid to write what readers actually want.

This brutally honest conversation exposes the industry's biggest failures and shows why the rebellion against the norm is a double-edged sword when it comes to building your author platform. If you love fantasy but hate what's happening to the genre, this interview will change how you see the entire publishing world.
