The Casual Author

As indie authors, we can publish pretty much whatever we want, however we want. Join me as I discuss writing and publishing series of books, as opposed to stand alone books, with Jon Monson, award winning indie fantasy author.

One thing that's challenging about being an author is finding your exact audience. Britaini and I discuss the challenges she faced as she dove into writing romance. Learn from her experiences as we find out that there is a market for pretty much any kind of book in any genre, you just have to work for it!

I haven't been in the publishing business for more than a couple years, but even then I've experienced enough failures and mistakes to have learned immensely. Hear more about the challenges I've had, am still having, and how they've shaped my author career to be what it is today. 

Being a small-time author / casual author can be stressful, especially when things don't go as planned. For horror and thriller author Caytlyn, being positive is an essential part of building her own business as a small-time author. 

If you're an author, you likely love to read. There's a reason why I write sci-fi and fantasy books; I can't read enough of them.
There's nothing I love more than reading sci-fi and fantasy books. Join Nikolai and me as we discuss our favorites about the genres and tropes that come with them.

When I started writing I had no idea where to begin when it comes to software. There are tons of free and paid options for authors from the writing to marketing and the whole process between.

Each of my book processes have been vastly different in terms of software used. Join me to learn what options you have to write and market your books!

There's nothing like keeping your readers on their toes by slapping in the right amount of twists and foreshadowing. Kevin Looney has quite the experience with not only reading twists, but writing them effectively within your stories.
Join us as we discuss the best way to write twists within your story and what pitfalls to avoid.

If you're like me, you probably don't/didn't know where to start with your writing. I wanted to write a book for at least 10 years before I finally did something about it. Why? Well so many reasons. 

Join me as I discuss how I started writing, why I started, and how you can get started as well. There is no time like the present to tell the stories that you want to share!

Sometimes when you've got a lot of things going on, it's not easy to keep up the creativity. Being a creative relies wholly on your ability to imagine and keep your 'creative font' filled. Join me as I discuss methods and practices around filling our creative fonts with Gabby Bocknite.

Sometimes writing a book comes best when multiple authors put their ideas, time, and creativity together to create an incredibly unique and diverse story.

Join me as I discuss Harriet's ongoing experience of co authoring a book with fellow authors from across the world!
