AI Generated Show Notes:The podcast kicks off with hosts Diana and Liz sharing their quirky tips for life, such as avoiding transfusions from rusty buckets and keeping hands clear of wood chippers. They exhibit a light-hearted banter that sets the tone for the episode, which dives into a discussion about the Supernatural episode titled 'Alex, Annie, Alexis Anne.' The hosts explore the episode's intricate themes of identity and belonging, particularly through the character of Alex, who has been raised by vampires and grapples with her past and her newfound freedom. The juxtaposition of her previous life and her struggles with the moral complexities of her upbringing is a significant focus, as the episode navigates the delicate balance between survival and the loss of humanity. Liz also reads the tale of the Nebraska vampire outbreak of the 1800s. Research LinksVampires of Nebraska - Nebraska State Historical Society

Summer Short #1: Back to the Future with Newsletters This summer we’re bringing you a series of short podcasts that share some key strategies, thoughts and tips/tricks on topics we’ve been feeling passionate about lately. Many of these will be snippets of things that HBICs attending the Romance Writers of America (RWA) conference in July will have a chance to explore further in sessions we’re leading. However, even if we won’t see you in New York this summer, we promise you’ll gain insights from these shorts. Just because they’re small, doesn’t mean they aren’t mighty. Out first summer short is a conversation between Lindsay Emory and Alexis Anne about newsletters. They start by explaining why going back in time to use old school email might be even more important than your awesome Facebook page and that witty Twitter banter you’ve cultivated. Alexis shares what she’s learned about refining her content, creating value for her readers, and why she doesn’t stress about a few unsubscribes. While there is certainly no universal secret sauce to newsletters, this episode will help you experiment with making your newsletter something your readers are excited to see in their inbox. Here are links to things mentioned in the show: The Newsletter Ninja // Tammi Labrecque Serena Bell’s newsletter Alexis Anne’s newsletter Lindsay Emory’s newsletter After you listen, we’d love to know what you think.

Content marketing-- wait? What exactly does that mean? What content are we marketing? Are we now just using “content” as a super generic synonym for “art”? If you’re not familiar with the concept, the mere mention of content marketing can cause confusion. Fear not! We’re clearing all that up for you this month. Essentially content marketing involves intentionally drawing people to your art without you having the scream “BUY THE THING I MADE” at the top of your lungs all the time. We start the podcast off with a comprehensive explanation of what exactly content marketing is and two specific ways to approach it, before diving into specific examples of how Lindsay, Julia, and Alexis are currently using these techniques. Then we offer some tips for brainstorming your own content marketing campaign without getting distracted by all the bright, shiny ideas. We also talk about how, as a creative, you’re naturally equipped to be amazing at creating content (imagine that!). Plus there’s also some chatter about the importance of being evergreen, which has absolutely nothing to do with holiday decor. And finally, here are links to all the things: Books: Your A Game by Damon Suede & Heidi Cullinan The Royal Runaway by Lindsay Emory The Light Over London by Julia Kelly Examples of Content Marketing: Lindsay Emory’s Women with Books Podcast Julia Kelly’s The LightSeekers articles Alexis Anne’s Reckless Kiss serial Newsletter Sign-up Book Alexis Anne’s Reading in Bed videos Laura von Holt’s The Mermaid Podcast Want to talk more about content marketing, or suggest some content for future podcasts?
