Self Publishing School: How To Write A Book That Grows Your Impact, Income, And Business

What happens when a former British Army captain turns into a best-selling mystery and thriller author? Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Steve Higgs, whose journey from the military to full-time writing is as compelling as his novels. We talk about his transformation from soldier to scribe, sharing how his initial lack of support only fueled his desire to write. Discover how his debut novel, "Paranormal Nonsense," became a reality and how Steve's story is a testament to the power of following your creative passions despite life's roadblocks.
Get ready to recharge your writing habits as we unpack the secrets to maintaining a regular writing schedule. Learn why discipline, often honed in military settings, can be your greatest ally in keeping the creative juices flowing. With Steve's humorous anecdotes on character creation and genre-hopping—from urban fantasy to cozy mysteries—you'll be inspired to embrace your unique writing style. We also touch on the challenges of balancing your craft with personal commitments, and why motivation doesn't always come from where you expect.
Finally, we tackle the myth of overnight success and share practical tips on navigating the path to author stardom. Discover how networking and learning from experienced authors can accelerate your journey. This episode is packed with insights on everything from marketing strategies to the unpredictable nature of success. Plus, we're excited to announce a series of fiction-focused episodes coming in November, just in time to boost your NaNoWriMo efforts.
