Welcome to the CraftyPod, a craft podcast all about making stuff.

Click the âPlayâ button at the bottom of this post to listen!

In this show:

- Some straight talk about crafty publishing: what's it really like to have a craft book published the traditional way? And what's it like to publish a crafty ebook?

- Plus, a short interview with June Gilbank, who sells self-published crochet patterns, and has a print book in progress, and has just released a crafty ebook.

- If you dream of writing a craft book, this show aims to bring you solid information and perspective.

June Gilbank's Links:

- You may be familiar with June's wonderful crochet patterns . Have you also seen Folding Trees, the blog she co-authors on paper craft?

- June's ebook, The Punchneedle Handbook, provides high-quality instruction. And she's designed a lot of cute punchneedle patterns, too.

Self-Publishing Links:

- Sound advice for authors, from Seth Godin, via Publetariat.

- (And by the way, Publetariat is itself an excellent resource.)

- Self-publishers will also find tons of great blog posts, links, and podcasts on the subject at The Creative Penn.

- An interesting Wall Street Journal article for the curious: Hoe the E-Book Will Change the Way We Read and Write.

Some Crafty Ebooks:

- Needlepointer Janet Perry offers a series of ebooks on the craft.

- Leigh Ann Tennant has released an ebook of sewing projects for new mothers, called sewExpecting

- Lee Meredith has an ebook of 10-yard knitted cuffs.

- Did I mention that I have a couple of them as well?
