The Independent Spark is the podcast for creative entrepreneurs, indie authors, and anyone building something from the ground up. Each week, we dive deep into the messy, exhilarating process of creation, sharing actionable advice and inspiring stories.
Join us as we talk to authors, filmmakers, artists, and musicians who are forging their own path. We explore everything from the first spark of an idea to the nuts and bolts of self-publishing, from managing your creative time to building a thriving community around your work.
Whether you’re struggling with writer’s block, trying to navigate the publishing world, or simply looking for a dose of motivation, The Independent Spark is your go-to resource. We’re here to ignite your creative fire and give you the tools you need to build your independent empire.

The Independent Spark is hosted by Hydra Publisher, Tony Acree, an accomplished author and publisher, with a career spanning genres from the supernatural to mystery. He brings a wealth of experience in both writing and the business of publishing to the microphone. His insights are a valuable resource for anyone navigating the creative landscape.
