Welcome to The Writing Coach. On this podcast, I speak with the instructors, editors, coaches, and mentors that help writers and authors create their art, build their audience, and sell their work.

In episode 18 of The Writing Coach, I speak with author assistant and media escort Kristi Tuck Austin.

Kristi helps writers manage their time and career obligations, allowing them to reach their goals and have more time to write.

During the interview, she describes:

* How she got started working with authors

* The importance of joining author communities

* Why both self-published and traditionally published authors should consider hiring an assistant

* The most common questions authors ask her

* Why she spent time in the tunnels beneath New York City and Paris

* How she uses editorial calendars to keep herself and her author clients organized

* and much more!
