SPA Girls Podcast

This week’s episode is a Spa Girls retrospective of how our 2019 went – what our two big Hits were, and what we found challenging. As usual, we get deep and personal. And cheeky!

We’ve also got a wee teaser about our teaching plans for next year – stay tuned for those!

Thank you to all our listeners who’ve been so amazingly supportive this year. Your downloads, your comments, your social media shares and your reviews are very VERY appreciated!

Today we interview Kathleen Sweeney, Customer Services Manager and Marketing Lead at BookBrush, an online platform designed to help authors with all their image creation needs.

Kathleen helps us delve into what we as writers can get out of BookBrush, and all the features that we can use to create amazing social media and advertising images. She explains the platform, how it works, what options are available and some of her favourite tips to create the right images for your needs. Kathleen also tells us they’re always evolving and working on new and exciting things to help us create those wonderful graphics.

“As someone who can be at times technologically challenged, I find BookBrush easy to navigate and am always pleasantly surprised at the quality of the graphics I’m able to produce in a short space of time.” – Wendy xx

 It’s that time of year when we start looking back on the year, wondering how it all flew by so fast, and thinking about what we can do for the coming year. 

This week we’re talking about another lesson we learned at the Romance Author Mastermind (RAM) – making sure that you’ve crossed the t’s and dotted the i’s on all the areas in your author career, from your backlist to your website and everywhere in between. It’s about making sure everything is as tight and sharp as you can make it, and it turns out that it’s a vital part of your business. 

If you want to learn how to sharpen up your author career, this is a must listen episode!

If you’re anything like the rest of us in the SPA, you’re quite happy in your writing cave. You don’t really want to leave the comfort of your keyboard. 

But this episode is all about why you really should take risks, be brave, and learn how to say yes to some of the really scary things in the self publishing industry. 

We’re just recently back from the wonderful Romance Author Mastermind conference put on by Skye Warren, so we use examples from information we learned at this amazing event to help us illustrate our points for this podcast. Another episode full of tips and tidbits that will help your self publishing career!
