Listen Later

Wow, what a fascinating interview! Today I'm joined by Steven James who's the author of 24 nonfiction books and 18 novels that have sold over 1 million copies. 

He's also the host of The Story Blender podcast. In this interview, we talk about: 
-How James finally wrote & published his first novel
-Have you ever thought “I could write a better book than this!”? If so, here’s what to do
-What writing 24 nonfiction books taught James that helped him write better novels
-Should you write fiction or nonfiction first? Here’s how to decide…
-Are storytellers born or made? Nature or nurture?
-All stories have 4 elements; great stories have 2 additional elements...what are they?
-How you should look at marketing differently as an author (and what James does to sell books)
-How to market a new series vs. books in an existing series

And so much more! If you're a fiction author or someone who's passionate about storytelling, you don't want to miss this episode!
