Episode 191

Historical fiction author Karen Heenan shares how her writing career started with a Tweet that drew the attention of a publisher, and how she eventually transitioned from working with a small press to indie publishing.
We also talk about focusing on building a backlist, validation, and learning to filter out advice and writing practices that don’t work with your strengths.
