Imagine if you could decode the publishing industry with an expert who has a unique perspective, and is willing to spill some trade secrets? That's exactly what you'll get from our fascinating conversation with Todd Satterston, owner and publisher of Bard Press. Todd’s engineering background gives him a unique, process-driven take on publishing, which has led to the success of his unique model of releasing one book per year.
In a world where quantity often overshadows quality, Todd’s approach is a breath of fresh air.

We unravel how this approach is instrumental in creating bestsellers. Todd also shares his expertise on crafting impactful book titles and descriptions, and reveals his strategy for successful book launches. We also discuss the role of airport bookstores for business authors and explore unconventional ways to make them profitable.
As we wind up our conversation with Todd, we dive into the world of book placement and distribution, especially for self-published authors. We shed light on the importance of good relationships with distributors and the terms that need to be negotiated for successful book placement.
