This week Nicole Rivera interviews Dianna Gunn, fantasy novelist, freelance writer, and the woman behind Business for Authors. They chat about author branding, Dianna’s upcoming workbooks for authors to launch their careers, and the hidden implications of the words, phrases and references we may be using in our writing.
