Literary Blend: A Publishing Podcast

Wow, I have a truly fantastic chapter for you today. Author and trauma therapist Danielle Render Turmaud joined me for chapter thirty-five to cover mental health and the querying process. We talked about querying through psychological and biological lenses, bringing a research-based flare to how querying affects mental health. I can’t thank Danielle enough for coming on the show and sharing her wisdom with the writing community. I learned so much during our fascinating chat, so I hope you do, too.

We have made it to chapter thirty-four of the show, and wow, it’s a fun one. Kate Pockett, who is one of the co-owners of PopUpPit, joined me to cover Twitter pitch events. From crafting pitches and following rules to having the right author mindset while participating in events, our conversation has it all. Pitch events occur frequently, so I hope my chat with Kate helps you prepare for the next one, whether you’re new to the writing community or have taken part in these events for a while.

Do you think research is fun? If not, I bet chapter thirty-three of Literary Blend will change your mind. I’m delighted to share my conversation with Ian Tan about research and realism. We talked about the importance of research, pulling real-world elements into fantastical stories, crafting immersive and realistic settings, and so much more. No matter what genre you write, research and realism are key, so I hope my chat with Ian gives you insight into how you can make your own stories believable and immersive for readers.

Okay, friends, it’s time for a mini business class, but don’t worry, it’s a fun one. I’m delighted to bring you chapter thirty-two of the show with Emily Rae on building an author platform. From talking about the benefits of having an author platform to advice for creating a website and social media presence, we covered it all. I hope our conversation gives you the tools you need to build your own author platform and show readers and publishing professionals who you are as you chase your dreams.

Talking about podcasts on a podcast is a real plot twist, if you ask me. I’m so excited to share my conversation with Michelle Glogovac for chapter thirty-one on landing podcast interviews as an author. During our chat, we discussed why podcast interviews are important for authors, tips for a recording setup, advice for pitching to podcasts, what to do after episodes are released, and more. If you have ever wondered how to be a guest on podcasts as an author, this conversation is for you.
