Do award-winning authors ever stop feeling like imposters?

This week on the Indie Author Showcase, Chad Robert Morgan opens up about imposter syndrome, why he approaches book showcases as conversations rather than definitive reviews, and why every writer—no matter their experience—should keep learning. From writing craft to marketing experiments, Chad discusses the mindset behind becoming a better author while inviting listeners to challenge his opinions and join the discussion.

You'll also hear an early look at BookBounty, a new platform Chad is testing for book promotion and reviews, along with why he's optimistic about BookSirens for audiobook reviews.

Then it's time for this week's featured book: The Demon of Eldersday by I. Ribbon.

This dark fantasy adventure follows Jerome, an unlucky arcane lecturer whose magical mishap unleashes a world-ending demon and sends him on a dangerous quest filled with curses, political intrigue, undead horrors, and a delightfully dry sense of humor. Chad discusses what made the book work, the strengths of its characters and storytelling, and the one element that didn't completely land for him.

Whether you're an indie author looking to improve your craft or a fantasy reader searching for your next adventure, this episode has something for you.
