WriterDojo S9 Ep 16: Dave's Dirty Journey

42m | Oct 21, 2026

This week on the WriterDojo, our hosts, authors Steve Diamond and Larry Correia, welcome back longtime friend of the show D.J. (Dave) Butler to talk about the current realities of the publishing world. Dave always wanted to just be a writer, but he’s ended up as editor, legal counsel, and advisor to several publishers. After years of working writer conventions and getting involved in just about every aspect of publishing, he knows trad pub, startups, indy, and everything in between like few others. What do trad publishers look for, and what can they do for you? What does it take to build your own imprint? How do you keep a publisher happy? How do you keep investors happy? This is part one of Dave’s latest interview- tune in next week for part 2!
