Listen Later

Discover the keys to thriving in fiction writing as we wrap up our fiction takeover series on the Self-Publishing School podcast. Hosted by Chandler Bolt and led by Rami Vance, this roundtable discussion features the journeys of successful fiction authors who have mastered the art of storytelling. Julia, Paul, and Casey Morales—also known as JD Ruffa or Joe Chandler—join us to share their unique paths and the lessons they've learned. From embracing the challenges of self-publishing to surpassing traditional career expectations, our guests reveal how embracing hard work, adaptability, and mentorship can lead to success.

Julia opens up about the initial hurdles of self-publishing, guided by her husband's support and insightful coaching. Her story underscores the importance of having the right resources and the courage to pursue one's passion. Meanwhile, Paul takes us through his evolution from a failed sci-fi series to a successful cozy mystery author. At 68, his resilience and willingness to pivot serve as an inspiring reminder that it's never too late to achieve your writing dreams. The collaborative spirit of mentors and peers shines through, illustrating how these relationships support and elevate authors on their journeys.

Casey Morales shares his unexpected transition from a steady career at Morgan Stanley to becoming a bestselling author in the male-male romance genre. Initially hesitant, Casey's daring switch led him to surpass his previous income and find personal freedom. He offers candid insights into adapting to market trends and the importance of pursuing opportunities that may seem unconventional. Throughout the episode, we emphasize the significance of honing your craft and understanding fiction fundamentals, providing practical advice for aspiring authors ready to embark on their own writing adventures.
