After a childhood in academia, J. Daniel Sawyer declared his independence by dropping out of high school and setting off on a series of adventures in the bowels of the film industry, the venture capital culture of silicon valley, surfing safaris, bohemians, burners, historians, theologians, adventurers, climbers, drug dealers, gangbangers, and inventors before his past finally caught up to him. Trapped in a world bookended by one wall falling in Berlin and other walls going up around suburbia and along national borders throughout the world, he rediscovered his deep love of history and, with it, and obsession with predicting the future as it grew aggressively out of the past. To date, this obsession has yielded over thirty books and innumerable short stories, the occasional short film, nearly a dozen podcasts stretching over a decade and a half, and a career creating novels and audiobooks exploring the world through the lens of his own peculiar madness, in the depths of his own private forest in a rural exile, where he uses the quiet to write, walk on the beach, and manage a production company that brings innovative stories to the ears of audiences across the world.

JD Sawyer, what are your thoughts on Indie Publishers limiting themselves to Amazon? The great KU Debate? I hear that we should diversify, but the perks for KU are good and the other eReader sources look like peanuts in comparison…

When do you know you’ve outgrown your publisher/editor/et al who started the ride with you? I see that many established authors jumped publishing houses like they were lilly pads on their rise to success. How do you decide that the time is right to move “up” to other houses?

(Disclaimer: I’m thrilled with my team!!!!!!!!! This is more of a general question from someone wanting to learn the ins and outs of his field.)
