Episode 228

Kemper Donovan is the host of the All About Agatha podcast and author of The Busy Body, a USA Today bestseller on launch earlier this year. Kemper shares tips for querying and how podcasting about Agatha Christie helped him connect with mystery authors and also provided a built-in audience for his book.

Topics:

  • Tuning out the noise and finding your own writing process and voice
  • Benefits of podcasting: social interaction with less stress than social media, audience building, and connection with other authors and readers
  • Tips for finding agents and querying and insight into traditional publishing
  • How Kemper drew on Agatha Christie’s influence
  • Navigating writing, promotion, and self-doubt as an author
