Скачать или смотреть Juggling A Writing Career with a NEW BABY! Ft. Richard & Judy Bestseller LIZZY BARBER.

We are thrilled to welcome back the awesome Richard & Judy bestselling author of psychological thrillers, LIZZY BARBER!

You know Lizzy from her gripping novels like Be Mine, Out of Her Depth, Nanny Wanted, and her debut, My Name is Anna.

Join us for a fascinating, honest, and very timely discussion on the reality of being a successful author in 2025, including:

👶 Juggling Writing with 'Life': The brutal reality of maintaining a creative career while writing with a new baby and minimal childcare. What does a productive day actually look like?

📚 Indie vs. Big Publishing: A controversial but necessary chat! As Lizzy moves to independent press Datura Books for Be Mine, we explore the pros and cons of publishing with big houses versus indie presses.

📈 Learning to Plot (The Plotter vs. Pantser Debate): Lizzy has gone from a 'pantser' (writing by the seat of her pants) to a dedicated plotter. Is one method more successful? And how do you make the shift?

🔪 Genre Identity: Does genre help or hinder a book's success? And are Lizzy's gripping stories truly thrillers? We dive deep into the world of crime and psychological suspense.

As a UK Top 10 Writing Podcast, we love having authors like Lizzy back - especially after catching up with her at the Harrogate Crime Writers Festival!
