Bonus episode #3

The Garret interviews writers about the craft of writing. But the literary industry includes more than just writers - editors, publishers, self-publishers, critics and agents all play roles. We publish a bonus episode with a prominent figure in the literary industry once a season. 

Here we interview Euan Mitchell, Australia's foremost expert on self-publishing, or indie publishing, as it is increasingly becoming known.

Euan has helped thousands of people down the often perilous track of indie publishing. A writer, a publisher, a lecturer, his interest in this field began with the publication of his own novel, Feral Tracks in 1998.

Euan self-published Feral Tracks after it was rejected by 25 literary agents and publishers. After its success, Hardie Grant published Euan's first non-fiction publication, Self-Publishing Made Simple: the Ultimate Australian Guide. Euan then started his own publishing imprint, OverDog Press, to release the second edition of the work. In 2014 he published Your Book Publishing Options: How to Make and Market Ebooks and Print Books with the support of the Australian Society of Authors.

Euan has a PhD in Creative Writing from Victoria University. He taught at Box Hill Institute of TAFE and now teaches at Swinburne University.
