  • Kickstarter & Starting Over with Martha Carr

    Kickstarter & Starting Over with Martha Carr
    May 5 2024
    Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors! In this week’s episode I interview urban fantasy author Martha Carr about Kickstarter and starting over in her author career. Some of the topics we discuss include: · How Martha went from being a prolific traditionally published author to starting over as an indie author with just one book in her backlist. · Why Martha chose to go indie rather than traditional publishing this time round. · Why Martha chose to open a Shopify store with only one book. · The strategies Martha uses to bring readers to her books and her Kickstarters. · How to set up your Kickstarter for success, particularly as a beginner. · Why Martha doesn’t advertise on Amazon. · Why your greatest assets are the people in your author community. · The role the Enneagram and Claire Taylor’s books and courses have played in Martha’s pivot. Whether you’re an author just starting out, or starting over, Martha offers great tips and strategies for boosting your books and setting yourself up for success.

  • Writing the Shadow with Joanna Penn

    Writing the Shadow with Joanna Penn
    Apr 23 2024
    Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors! In this week’s episode I interview award-winning podcaster, creative entrepreneur, and bestselling author, Joanna Penn, about her wonderful new book, Writing the Shadow: Turn Your Inner Darkness into Words. Joanna gives advice on how to recognize your Shadow Self and how we can use it to not only become better writers, but also better people. We discuss why AI is no competition for you showing up and being vulnerable on the page, what it's like to be an intuitive discovery writer, and why there's nothing wrong with binge writing. We also discuss the role of synchronicity in writing a book, and why planning your author career is often about lifestyle design. If you're ready to delve into the dark, confront your shadows, and are willing to use your vulnerability to really connect with your readers, then it’s time to let your dark horse run. Grab a drink, find a comfy chair, sit back and enjoy the show!
