The authors cover a range of topics including traditional vs. self-publishing, genre/audience considerations, how to get started, and their favorite tips on writing. The hosts address the common fear of idea theft and provide advice on navigating the traditional publishing industry, whether you're just getting started or already in the middle of a successful self-publishing career. The authors share individualized writing advice, discuss finding time to write, and emphasize the importance of choosing projects with passion. (S1 E10)
