#027: TL McCoy on Inclusive Fantasy, Indie Success & AI Marketing


Listen Later

TL McCoy didn’t plan to write a middle-grade fantasy novel. But when she learned that only 3.4% of children’s books feature disabled protagonists, and her own granddaughter was diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome, Delilah Versus the Ghastly Grim was born.

In this powerful episode of Writer Unblocked, TL shares how she:


  • Pivoted from a psychological thriller to inclusive children’s fiction
  • Self-published like a pro earning awards and bestseller status
  • Used AI to create a full-scale marketing plan with promo videos and streaming ads
  • Turned personal heartbreak into a story of strength
  • Stays unblocked with walks, music, and radical purpose


You’ll also hear our honest take on AI’s role in publishing, from marketing help to creative red flags.
