Andrea, Jo, and Lindsay have all been publishing for more than ten years and have been full-time authors for much of that time. In this week’s show, they start out sharing their paths and how they first became authors and eventually started earning enough money to quit their day jobs.

After that, they share some of their top tips, i.e. things they’ve learned over the years, including advice on becoming faster and more efficient, avoiding burnout by not taking on too many projects, and learning from your successes as well as your failures. They also covered the challenges of not writing to market and how you may have to publish a mixture of passion projects and more commercial work (if your goal is to become a full-time author).

In the news, Lindsay shared her experience with finding a narrator and producing an audiobook through Findaway Voices. Jo mentioned challenges in finding a cover artist for a special project, and Andrea talked about some of her writing ups and downs these past couple of years as well as a new pen name she’s started.
