What does a street team do for writers, and where do you find them? Kara Swanson provides tips to attract and grow a robust street team.

Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. I’m your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I bring tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you excel in your craft. I’m so glad you’re listening in. You’ll learn about … Building a Robust Street Team during this episode.

Linda's industry expert is…Kara Swanson. Kara writes stories about fairytales and fiery souls. She spent her childhood a little like a Lost Girl, running barefoot through lush green jungles, which inspired her award-winning Peter Pan retellings, DUST and SHADOW. Her latest fantasy series is set in an icy world filled with phoenixes called IGNITE, released in August 2024.
 
She is also the co-founder of the Author Conservatory where she has the honor of teaching young writers to craft sustainable author careers.

You’ll find Kara with her toes in California sand as a SoCal resident, belting Broadway show tunes on weekend drives to Disneyland with her delightfully nerdy husband, or chatting about magic and mayhem on Instagram
