What's this episode about?

If you’re nervous about starting your writing journey, this is a must listen for you. 

Krystal Proffitt is an entrepreneur, podcaster and author. She hosts The Proffitt Podcast, which is all about how to start, launch and market your podcast, and is the mentor who got me started on my own podcasting journey. 

Her motto is ‘We all have to start somewhere’ and this applies to me in podcasting, and you in novel writing. 

Krystal used to work in the corporate world but after being a stay at home mum for a few years was ready to tackle something new and a journey of self-discovery led to The Proffitt Podcast and an unknown world of books. 

First she discovered Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way and then Janet O’Connor’s Writing Down Your Soul, both of which encouraged her to start journalling. 

She now has three journals - one for creative writing, one for gratitude and one for her poetry! 

Krystal talks about a children’s book she wrote a few years ago, her experience of a writing conference and the world of pitching. 

She will inspire you with her try it and see attitude to life. She certainly inspires me with her energy and how open she is to life’s adventures. 

I am sure she will do the same for you. 

You can discover more about Krystal on Instagram, YouTube, and her podcast, The Proffitt Podcast.
