Author Interview Renee Rose Abundance Mindset for Authors and becoming a Six-figure Author

Join Renee Rose and me as we discuss abundance mindset for authors and becoming a six-figure author.

We also cover writing over one hundred books with two million copies sold; formulated story beats; rapid release marketing technique; public speaking; writing kink; clearing money blocks; co-writing; author comparison; audiobooks and foreign translations; marketing audio; writing with romance elements; keeping consistent with character profiles; Facebook group ‘Abundance Mindset for Authors’; daily positivity rituals; most memorable reader moment; and talking about new release ‘The Soldier’.

I can’t even begin to express how motivated I feel after this interview. I’m a member of Renee’s ‘Abundance Mindset for Authors’ facebook group and I was super excited for this interview and I’m even more of a fan girl now. Renee has some very insightful techniques to fall in love with our work and own books (the most important part of being a writer) and has bucket loads of experience to boot. I really took a lot from this interview and am feeling super charged for the coming months to come. Oh, and don’t forget to watch until the end where we casually discuss the time Renee fell into a water fountain. I mean we all have those kinds of days, right?

Author Interview Carissa Ann Lynch Genre Writing: Suspense, Mystery, Horror and Thriller

Join Carissa Ann Lynch and me as we discuss genre writing and the difference between Suspense, Mystery, Horror and Thriller.

We also cover the start of Carissa’s writing journey and how it all began with notes on a napkin; inspiration behind ‘Without a Trace’; tips in writing suspense and thriller; obstacles and timeline of pitching to agents; being published traditionally through Harper Collins; becoming a Wallstreet Journal and USA Bestseller; focusing on your preferred social media platform; and the importance of connecting with fellow authors.

I had such a blast meeting Carissa and I dare say I’m feeling slightly more confident in reading this genre after she cleared up my misconception that it all goes ‘bang in the dark.’ (I’m a scaredy cat) She’s honestly so sweet and I loved hearing her inspirational story of writing the book she most wanted to read.

Author Interview Skye Warren How to shift from Starving Artist to Abundant Author

Join Skye Warren and me as we discuss shifting from starving artist to abundant author and how to manage the mindset that we are in control of our book sales with practical steps.

We also cover breaking past stagnation as a writer; applying creativity to business; Facebook ads and Skye’s personal story of investing 100k to make 850k in one year; writing sexy taboo; going from traditional publisher to indie; how to identify the best cover for your book by using Facebook ads; managing long term health issues; and details about Romance Author Mindset Convention, what to expect and when it is.

I can’t even begin to describe how much I learnt and how fascinating Skye’s writing journey is. I was sucked in from the very start and mesmerized by her ability to cross the creativity hat with the business hat when we so often believe we need to wear them at different times. If you want to elevate yourself as a writer, I’d highly encourage you watch this interview.
