TB is in full panic mode, trying to make a March 1 edit deadline, but authors would never finish a project without the fear of a deadline. She didn’t do a great job planning everything going on behind the scenes leading up to this one and has been managing a lot of stuff while also trying to meet the writing deadline. On March 1, TB may collapse out of exhaustion and not get up for a week.

The words for Clare’s latest book are flowing out of her, a good thing because she also has a March deadline. Fortunately for Clare, hers is on the 25th. Like TB, Clare is also struggling to get her book over the finish line, proving that writing is hard and stressful. In life news, for the first time ever, Clare gave blood to honor her great niece’s first birthday.

They move on to the topic: author brands. TB takes the reins for this episode, explaining how having the right author brand helps create a fan base and a connection with readers. In the beginning, TB didn’t have much of a plan when it came to her brand, but over time, it evolved. Have a listen to what they consider their core brand values and why they matter.

What’s your author brand?
