Big Gay Author Podcast

Jeff and I talk about our past week, including paperback releases, writing updates and progress on goals in January. Jeff also recommends recent episodes of The Creative Penn, which continued the discussion on the power authors have over their work, and Smart Podcast, Trashy Books, which took a deep dive into the issues surrounding Romance Writers of America.

Lucy Lennox returns to the podcast to update everyone on the upcoming PAGE author education event, which will be held April 17-19 in Atlanta. She’s got details on some of the presentations, what she’s looking forward to personally and details about tickets that are still available.

Jeff updates everyone on the publishing tasks he’s accomplished in the past week. Knowledge is, in fact, power as I discusses the power that authors can wield when negotiating with publishers.  Author A.E. Ryecart joins the guys for a Q&A on her author journey.

After a short update about what we did this week (Jeff is about to send his manuscript to his editor!), we play Q&A with authors L.A. Witt, Gregory Ashe, Layla Reyne and Rachael Herron. Each of them talks about why they write, their processes, and offers advice to authors who are just starting out.

Jeff kicks off the week discussing how revisions are going on his current project. He also discusses a successful battle to get audiobook rights reverted, and the progress he’s making on re-publishing. Jeff and I also discuss how they’re approaching 2020. I wrap up the show with three podcast episodes that are chock full of information authors can use in the new year.

Jeff and I are joined by author, memoirist, podcaster and teacher (though perhaps facilitator is the better word) Rachael Herron. They talk about her 90 Days to Done class, which Jeff recently completed, along with the other classes she offers. We also find out how all of that fits into her writing life and how she knew she was ready to teach.

Schedule note: Jeff and I are taking next week off for the holidays. They’ll be back January 4, 2020.

It’s time to start thinking of your business in the new year and I discuss several informative shows I listened to this week that are relevant to all authors, including Nora Phoenix talking with Craig Martelle about self marketing, The Writing Gals and their 2020 goals, the Choose FI Podcast featuring an interview with Atomic Habits author James Clear and the Ask Alli Podcast with Joanna Penn and Orna Ross talking about the past decade and what may come in 2020. Jeff and I also discuss Joanna Penn’s new book, Productivity for Authors, and the key takeaways that’ll kickstart our productivity.
