Winner of the 2025 American Writing Awards Podcast of the Year in Fiction and the 2024 Positive Change Podcast Awards for Best Host and Best Book Podcast. Tune in to be introduced to new and upcoming authors in a wide variety of fiction genres – from historical to fantasy to mystery to thriller to romance – as well as inspirational memoirs.
Online for Authors is the only podcast with a host that personally reads and reviews indie-written fiction and inspirational/memoirs for avid readers who want to add books for their TBR beyond what they can find on the NYT best sellers list. As an award-winning host, Teri M Brown’s goal for Online for Authors is to introduce avid readers to characters they’d like to invite to lunch. If you read more than 40 books per year and want to veer away from the NYT Best Seller’s List or want to expand beyond your preferred genre, Online for Authors can help you discover novels written by Indie-Authors to add to your to-be-read list.
Teri M Brown is an author of character-driven fiction and lives for the moments her characters speak their stories to her. Recognizing that other authors also have interesting lives and reasons for writing, Teri uses Online for Authors as a space for these authors to shine. Avid readers listening to Online for Authors will have the opportunity to discover new authors, amazing characters, and “can’t stop reading” stories.
If you are looking for the next book on your “to be read” pile, then this is the podcast for you. Listen as authors discuss their latest work (no spoilers!), the impetus behind the storyline, how/where/why they write, what’s coming up next, and more! These conversations are in-depth because, unlike many hosts, Teri takes the time to read and review each novel before interviewing her guests. She believes that by doing so, she can guarantee a good fit for her audience as well as an interesting and inquisitive interview.
Additionally, the first Saturday of each month, Teri releases what she affectionately calls OFAU – Online for Authors University. These once-monthly episodes feature writing tips for authors in all stages of their careers and speaks directly to her desire to mentor others. Whether someone wants to know about editing, marketing, book awards, being a guest on a podcast, or how notebooking can help you overcome writer’s block, writers and aspiring writers will find useful tips to move their writing to the next level.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Tanya Joy Morgan, founder of Panoptic Foundations. We will be chatting today about anti-marketing for authors. Tanya Joy Morgan is a digital strategist, educator, and the founder of Panoptic Foundations, where she helps fiction authors build a clear, confident, and sustainable author platform. She blends more than 30 years of experience across business strategy, marketing, writing, and multi-disciplinary teaching with over a decade spent guiding beginners through technology, including six years with WordPress.
Tanya’s approach is rooted in what she calls anti-marketing for fiction authors, a mindset and strategy shift that replaces pressure and hustle culture with clarity, storytelling, and sustainable visibility. Instead of chasing algorithms or overwhelming trends, she teaches authors how to create an online presence that reflects their voice, supports their goals, and actually attracts the right readers.
Her teaching style is friendly, down-to-earth, and deeply practical. She’s known for turning complex concepts into simple steps, empowering authors who never thought they could manage websites, email lists, or marketing strategy on their own. Tanya is also a fantasy writer in the trenches with her students, which means she teaches from empathy, not ego.
Through her membership, The Anti-Marketing Implementation Circle, and through workshops, collaborations, and guest appearances, Tanya gives authors the tools, confidence, and direction they need to grow their readership without burning out.
