  • Why she’s always had a second income source, even though she could be writing fiction full-time
  • How to create a side hustle that benefits your writing career
  • A simple but super-important step to take if you get a six- or seven-figure book deal
  • The surprising reason setting up a LLC or S-corp can lead to more success
