When we were kids, we learned the phrase, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” As adults, we try to put this into practice by doing things to minimize our risk and never trust one single entity for our success because it can fail.

The same is true for your success as an author, especially when it comes to the channels where you promote and sell your books.

That’s why I’m excited to feature this conversation with Kevin Tumlinson, an award-winning and bestselling author of hundreds of novels and non-fiction books. Known as “the Voice of Indie Publishing,” he’s helped thousands of will-be and working authors to build and grow their writing careers through his work in podcasting, public speaking, and as Director of Marketing & PR for Draft2Digital.

Kevin is also an inveterate world traveler, and can usually be found writing from cafes, coffee shops, and hotel lobbies around the world.

I was inspired by a recent post Kevin wrote for the Draft2Digital site on diversifying your writing income, and that informed much of our conversation. We also talk about the value of putting your books on the incredible Draft2Digital platform and how it can help build your author career and increase sales.

In addition, we dig into Kevin’s process for writing fiction. He talks about how he comes up with story ideas, how to formulates plots, and how to know when a story is good enough to publish. I absolutely loved his insights about how he actually writes a first draft using his looping method of editing and drafting.

You can connect with Kevin on his website, https://www.kevintumlinson.com, and find all of his books and links there. I also encourage you to check out Kevin’s brand-new book, A Note from the Author: 123 Wise Things Someone Should Probably Say to You.
