Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors!
Are you roadworthy as an author? Are you set up to go the distance with your author career?
In this week’s solo episode, I reflect on changes I need to make in all areas of my life to set myself up for a sustainable, joyful author career. I share the questions I’ve been asking myself around procrastination, my health, and emotional and mental baggage, and I discuss how some small everyday stressors might be sabotaging your success.
If you’re ready to take inventory of where you’re at and where you might be holding yourself back on your author journey, then this is the episode for you. My hope is it inspires you to take action on the small, but important, things you’ve been avoiding, let go of the things you no longer need, and plan for a future of joy and ease.

Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors!
In this week’s episode I interview urban fantasy author Martha Carr about Kickstarter and starting over in her author career. Some of the topics we discuss include:
· How Martha went from being a prolific traditionally published author to starting over as an indie author with just one book in her backlist.
· Why Martha chose to go indie rather than traditional publishing this time round.
· Why Martha chose to open a Shopify store with only one book.
· The strategies Martha uses to bring readers to her books and her Kickstarters.
· How to set up your Kickstarter for success, particularly as a beginner.
· Why Martha doesn’t advertise on Amazon.
· Why your greatest assets are the people in your author community.
· The role the Enneagram and Claire Taylor’s books and courses have played in Martha’s pivot.

Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors!
In this week’s episode I interview award-winning podcaster, creative entrepreneur, and bestselling author, Joanna Penn, about her wonderful new book, Writing the Shadow: Turn Your Inner Darkness into Words. Joanna gives advice on how to recognize your Shadow Self and how we can use it to not only become better writers, but also better people. We discuss why AI is no competition for you showing up and being vulnerable on the page, what it's like to be an intuitive discovery writer, and why there's nothing wrong with binge writing. We also discuss the role of synchronicity in writing a book, and why planning your author career is often about lifestyle design.
If you're ready to delve into the dark, confront your shadows, and are willing to use your vulnerability to really connect with your readers, then it’s time to let your dark horse run. Grab a drink, find a comfy chair, sit back and enjoy the show!
