Kobo Writing Life Podcast

Kobo Writing Life comes from inside one of the major e-book platforms, which gives it a unique insider perspective on the self-publishing world. The biweekly show features interviews with bestselling indie authors, conversations with Kobo's own bookselling and editorial teams, and practical advice on building a sustainable writing career. The rotating host lineup, including team members like Rachel and director Tara Cremin (with Mark Lefebvre as a previous longtime host), means you get a variety of perspectives from people who actually work in digital publishing every day. Recent episodes have covered book sales strategies, diversity in romance writing, sustaining a long indie author career, sports romance as a growing subgenre, and marketing through newsletters and social media. With 424 episodes and a 4.6-star rating, the show has maintained consistent quality over more than a decade. What sets it apart from other indie publishing podcasts is the platform-specific insight. You hear directly from the people who decide how books get promoted and surfaced on Kobo, which is valuable intelligence for authors selling through that channel. The show also tends to spotlight international authors and markets more than its competitors, reflecting Kobo's global reach. If you are an indie author looking to expand beyond Amazon, this podcast provides the roadmap.
