Stop Chasing Algorithms: Write Like an Artisan

Are you writing for algorithms or for actual humans? In this refreshingly honest episode of Pros Talking Prose, we’re joined by indie author legend Johnny B. Truant to talk about his upcoming book, The Artisan Author, a rebellious, soul-restoring manifesto for authors who are done with burnout and ready to love writing again.

We dive into: The myth of rapid release Why chasing bestseller lists is killing your creativity How to attract 1,000 true fans (and why that’s enough) The “Bookstore of You” philosophy Bringing back the FUN in your author business

Whether you're drowning in marketing hacks or wondering if AI is about to replace your voice, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, find joy, and build a sustainable, art-first author career.

Are you ready to quit the rat race and write on your own terms? You’re not alone. Besides keeping Austin weird, Johnny helps Troy and Stacey discover why being an artisan author is the revolution we all need.
