About

Tribal Author is the brainchild (actually, one of the brainchildren) of well-known blogger, author, serial-entrepreneur and marketer, Jonathan Fields. Our goal is simple…even the playing field between authors and publishers and teach both sides how to work together to sell a lot more books in a fast-moving, digitally-driven world.

We don’t have all the answers and, frankly, anyone who claims they do is very likely blowing a significant volume of smoke up your ass. Because, the publishing and book marketing worlds are in massive, constant evolution. So, we work hard to not only track what’s happening, but as an author and online marketer himself, Jonathan is ‘in the game” testing ideas and strategies to see what works and what doesn’t and tapping his extensive network of tribal authors and “real” bestsellers to see what’s working and what’s not working for them, too.
