In 5 Years of Podcasting, we have been so very lucky to be joined by wonderful guests who helped make our show. They shared their wisdom and insights, they made us laugh and made us think. If you haven't seen this, please check out the lovely Guest Shout Out Video Rachel made.
We put up a poll and asked on Ko-Fi and social media for our listeners to give us some ideas for this special milestone episode. The answer was almost unanimous. So, in today's episode, Rachel and I ask and answer: “What New Things Have We Learnt Running A Podcast?”
As writers, there are always things we can do to be better. Whether it's something specific to the writing or even just within the process. So in today's episode Rachel and I ask and answer: “What Do You Wish You Were Better At As A Writer?”
Many stories require some form of research to strengthen realism (yes, even in Fantasy!) but there are different research methods. In today's episode Rachel and I ask and answer: “How Important Is Hands-On Novel Research?”
Book covers are a big marketing tool so getting them right is important. There may be things you need to think about when getting your cover created. So in today's episode Rachel and I ask and answer: “What Do You Need To Consider When Creating Book Covers?”
Our first guest of the year, Dr. Marie-Helene Pelletier joined Rachel in today's Interview Episode (sadly, I was unwell, so I was unable to participate). “Who Is Dr Marie-Helene Pelletier?”
This is a topic I wanted to discuss after seeing some issues raised by authors on Instagram last year. But since we record months in advance, this was the earliest I could slot it in. We have never said we were fashionably on time with our topics 🙂 So, in today's episode Rachel and I ask and answer: “What Are The Risks With Sending Out ARCs?”
These days, authors are simply authors. There are lots of jobs we do under the umbrella of "Author". So in today's episode Rachel and I ask and answer: “How Many Hats Do Indie Authors Wear?”
It may be an odd topic, but I guarantee someone who listens to it won't know that Authors can get insurance and why it may be useful. So that is the topic of today, as Rachel and I ask and answer: “Do You Need Author Insurance?”
As mentioned in an earlier episode, we are moving to Guest Interviews for our guest episodes and to test the format, we decided to interview each other. If you missed Rachel's interview, you can check it out here. Today is my interview as Rachel asks and I answer: “Who Is Ari Meghlen (2.0)?"
