Hot off the presses, my new book, Write About Now: Successful Authors on Overcoming Obstacles, Finding Inspiration and the Birth of Their Careers, just dropped. The book features the inspirational origin stories of some of the most successful writers who have ever appeared on the podcast. In this episode, I share my recent appearance on The Bleeders podcast talking out the origin story of my book on origin stories. Host Courtney Kocak grills me on my journey from podcast host to author, common threads I discovered in surveying successful writers' beginning, my experience with indie publishing, the promotional strategies I'm using for my book launch, and how I hope these collected stories can inspire creatives.
