THE AUTHORPRENEUR PODCAST™️

Writing, Self-Publishing, and Book Marketing Advice for Writers

 

What the listeners are saying…

[The Authorpreneur Podcast] explains concisely the information I need to hear in order to move past insecurities and do the work!

- An Apple Podcast Listener

I love the bite-size length of these episodes, and hearing about another’s writer’s experience and methods. Often, how-to books/info about writing can become quite pedantic or salesy, trying to convince you to follow their exact method and how it will solve all your problems. Refreshingly, [Amelia] is simply real and honest. I recently struggled to start revisions on my manuscript, but one of her tips has got me back into the work. Excited to keep following along with her journey!
