Learn a step-by-step method for how to create a playlist for the next book you write in this episode of the indie author podcast. Although creating playlists can be time-consuming, it’s also a straightforward process that everyone (author and readers alike) can benefit from! 

Plus, find out a few of the songs your host Sagan Morrow chose to feature as the “soundtrack” for her books, and why you might want to choose more emotional songs vs. high-energy songs based on the character and mood and scenes in the books. Explore tension between characters through music when you have special book-specific playlists. 

This episode also shares why you need to think about how quickly the average reader goes through a book, so that your song choices match up with the chapters inside your book.
