Скачать или смотреть Writing And Business Lessons Learned From 500 Episodes And 11 Years Of The Creative Penn Podcast

It’s episode 500! Time flies indeed.
The first episode of The Creative Penn Podcast was released on 15 March 2009. I had a couple of non-fiction books out, the international Kindle had not even launched, and there was no empowered indie author movement as we know it today. I was living in Ipswich, just outside Brisbane, Australia and I worked as an IT consultant implementing SAP Financials at a large mining company. How things have changed!

I'm now a full-time author and podcaster with over 30 books, fiction and non-fiction. I live in Bath, UK and I'm part of a growing independent author scene. We have more opportunities than ever before and it truly is the best time to be an author!

In this episode, I’m going to share some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over the last 11 years and include clips from podcast episodes that helped me and can help you on your own author journey — some are craft and some are business.

(1) Write what you love
(2) It’s OK to suck in your first draft. Editing is the process that will turn your book into a finished product.
(3) We are independent authors. We create and license intellectual property assets.
(4) All long-term book marketing comes down to one thing
(5) Turning pro and long term thinking. The mindset of the professional author.
(6) Next steps: What's changing for The Creative Penn?
