In our final installment of our three part series on Creative Entrepreneurship in Spokane (Get Episode 1 and Episode 2), we had the chance to sit down with two entrepreneurs who spend their efforts in the writing and publishing industries – both of which are going through interesting changes and transformations in the 21st century.

 

For this episode, join us as we chat with Jay Swanson, Author and Publisher of many works including the new, real-time series Into the Nanten, and Russ Davis, owner of publishing company Gray Dog Press.

Listen in as we talk with Jay and Russ about:

  • How the publishing and writing industry is changing, and what authors and publishers are both doing to adapt
  • What the challenges are to mixing creativity and livelihood
  • How Spokane’s arts and literature scene has changed over time, and what’s perhaps next for our community.
