Podcasts about first time author

Bestselling author and book coach Stacy Ennis joins the podcast to share her sensory-driven method for helping authors create the outline they need to write their book right the first time. By taking your time, figuring out who your "one reader" is to keep your audience and market demand top of mind, and clearing out the noise of conflicting ideas, you will build a defined road map that takes the uncertainty out of writing and allows your creativity to blossom as you draft your book.  In this conversation, Stacy breaks down exactly how to approach outlining with clarity and confidence, shares common pitfalls to avoid, and gives practical advice you can start using today.

JJ Elliott is an advertising copywriter with a degree in English from UCLA. She lost her mother to suicide as a teenager and spent over two years volunteering on the suicide hotlines in LA. One of the reasons she wanted to write this book is because she finds herself increasingly frustrated by the way suicide is treated in print and on-screen, as a mystery to be solved rather than a multi-layered, complex mental health situation that can rarely be boiled down to one specific "reason."​A native of Northern California, JJ now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, two teenage kids, and two poorly trained bulldogs. She loves to read, drink wine, play tennis, and eat cheese. There Are No Rules For This is her first novel.In this episode, Nada sits down with JJ to discuss her newly published book. After ten years of crafting the story, JJ decided not to go with a traditional publisher and shares why that was an important decision in telling this very personal story. She helps us understand a hybrid publishing model and explains the benefits of choosing that path. JJ advises aspiring writers to join a writing community and to reach out to authors they admire. She reminds us that writing is a solo venture that requires us to have others who understand the process and what we are going through.Head to JJ's website to grab her book, There Are No Rules For This. Check out She Write's website if you are interested in the hybrid publishing model. Also, if you are interested in joining the Round Robin JJ mentioned, check out The Writing Salon.

Welcome back to Published! Today we're joined by Danielle Green, a book influencer and brand strategist at Greenleaf. She speaks about reader communities on social media, how authors can use TikTok and Instagram to promote their books, and how to collaborate with book influencers.

Page One, produced and hosted by author Holly Lynn Payne, celebrates the craft that goes into writing the first sentence, first paragraph and first page of your favorite books. The first page is often the most rewritten page of any book because it has to work so hard to do so much—hook the reader. We interview master storytellers on the struggles and stories behind the first page of their books.About the guest author:Boasting one of pop's most beloved voices, Susanna Hoffs grew up in L.A. with an ever-present soundtrack of '60s music. She loved to sing and play guitar, going on to study the arts in college. Stirred by punk and new wave, Susanna started her first band with David Roback while at UC, Berkeley. Upon returning to L.A., she placed a want ad which led her to Vicki and Debbi Peterson. In December 1980, they met in the garage of Susanna's parents' home and a band was born. Blending '60s garage rock, lush harmonies, and jangly guitars, the Bangles became a seminal band of the '80s with a string of hits from three platinum-selling albums. Over the decades since, the Bangles continued to tour and release LPs. In 1991, Susanna issued a pop-heavy solo album, When You're a Boy. Five years later, her eponymous LP brought her closer to her musical roots than she'd been in a long time which was met with critical praise. After working together in the Austin Powers films, Susanna and Matthew Sweet formed Sid 'n Susie, releasing three volumes of their acclaimed Under the Covers series. In 2011, she stole away to the studio for Someday, a retro modern solo set that served as a stylish homage to the '60s pop that she grew up on. She followed that up in short order with two EPs. More recently, Susanna has collaborated with the Zombies, Tom Petty, Chris Martin, Mike Campbell, Jack Antonoff, Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, Aimee Mann, Andrew Bird, Jon Brion, Maya Rudolph, and others. Her debut novel, This Bird Has Flown, is published by Little Brown, a division of the Hachette Book Group. She's a graduate from UC Berkeley with a degree in art and lives in Los Angeles with her husband of three decades and has two sons. You can find her at www.susannahoffs.com and follow her on Instagram @susannahoffs.About the host:Holly Lynn Payne is an award-winning novelist and writing coach, and the former CEO and founder of Booxby, a startup built to help authors succeed. She is an internationally published author of four historical fiction novels. Her debut, The Virgin's Knot, was a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers book. She recently finished her first YA crossover novel inspired by her nephew with Down syndrome. She lives in Marin County with her daughter and enjoys mountain biking, surfing and hiking with her dog.

So I thought to ask your favorite master storytellers how they do their magic to hook YOU. After the first few episodes, it occurred to me that maybe someone listening might be curious how their first page sits with an audience, so I'm opening up Page One to any writer who wants to submit the first page of a book they're currently writing. If your page is chosen, you'll be invited onto the show to read it and get live feedback from one of Page One's master storytellers. Page One exists to inspire, celebrate and promote the work of both well-known and unknown creative talent.  You can listen to Page One on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, Stitcher and all your favorite podcast players. Hear past episodes.If you're interested in getting writing tips and the latest podcast episode updates with the world's beloved master storytellers, please sign up for my very short monthly newsletter at hollylynnpayne.com and follow me @hollylynnpayne on Instagram, Twitter, Goodreads, and Facebook.

Writing your first book is a huge undertaking, and getting the right support on your journey can be the deciding factor in whether you achieve your goal, or not. Our guest today, Bob Wheatley, knows this better than anyone and after two and a half years of hard work and dedication is set to release his first book Our Hearts' Desire: How Our Stories Reveal the Thing We Want Most. In our conversation with Bob, we discuss how he first realized that he wanted to write a book and the key lesson he learned from the process. He provides a detailed breakdown of the publishing routes that aspiring authors can choose to pursue, the financial implications, and why he chose to use the hybrid publishing model. He goes on to explain how having a mentor helped him, and why he is so grateful to have learned from the mistakes of others. He also expands on how the skills he learned as a professional athlete helped him pitch up every day, and how to embrace the fact that your first draft won't be very good. Writing a book takes a tremendous amount of commitment, and while it requires many hours of working in solitude, the only way you'll deliver the best product possible is by enlisting the help of trusted friends, family, and mentors. If you feel like you have a message in you that you need to share with the world but don't know where to begin, then this episode is here to give you the tools you need to start your journey!

Danielle and I had a deep conversation about her husband who is a thrill-seeker. We spoke about her mental and emotional feelings about her husband who does extremely dangerous things and a risk taker. Danielle Kaplan is a speech-language pathologist and movement specialist. She grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa and holds a master's degree in Speech Pathology. She and her husband Steve emigrated to Canada, where she spent twenty years working in acute teaching hospitals, in Neurology, Neurosurgery, and spinal injury. Danielle gained a certification in Pilates and then went on to train further in movement while achieving her Personal Training certification (CanfitPro), Ballet Barre for fitness training and then received her Rehab Exercise Specialization Certification. The mother of two, she lives with her husband Steve and their two fur babies in Toronto, Ontario. I Married A Thrill-Seeker is her first book. When Danielle Kaplan's husband Steve decides to take one last road trip on his BMW R1200GS Enduro, from Toronto, Ontario to near Fairbanks, Alaska, his life changes in an instant. The treacherous stretch of road between Carmacks and Watson Lake in the Yukon called the Campbell Highway was incredibly dangerous in the rain. Steve hit a pothole and crashed-and what follows is a true testament of luck, love, and incredible fortitude as his injuries leave him with a less than one percent survival rate. In this honest, open memoir Danielle Kaplan explores the toll Steve's trip took on her family, his accident and her husband's incredibly long recovery took on her family. As a former speech pathologist, Danielle becomes her husband's greatest ally-fighting by his side the entire time, through every step forward and step back, as Steve regains his health after the tragic accident. From the moment Steve leaves the driveway until the night of the fateful call, Danielle has mixed feelings about the trip. And from the months they spend in the hospital to her husband's eventual recovery, she reveals her truthful, mixed emotions about everything from the life saving measures used to keep him alive to the unbearable decisions she had to make about their family. This heartfelt, raw story contains the essence of the human spirit, and is filled with both determination and love.

For those of us who are lucky enough to have experienced a big, transformational change in our personal or professional lives, it's natural to want to share those insights with others. Many of us may have even considered developing a career as a coach or a guide to help people experience that same kind of transformation in their lives, but few have the courage or tenacity to actually follow through on that vision. Today's guest, Shira Miller—a two-time TEDx speaker and professional coach—has done exactly that.After going from financial ruin to prosperity, chronic health challenges to wellness, obesity to healthy weight, divorce to lasting love, and an unfulfilling career to a purpose-driven life, Shira launched a three-year journey of interviewing 100+ people who have also been “stuck” but are now living the lives they craved. The result is her first book, Free and Clear: Get Unstuck and Live the Life You Want. In this episode, you'll learn:What it means to be "stuck" in some area of your life—and how to get unstuck.Why self-care and taking a pause to gain clarity about what you want your "desired state" to be is the first essential step to living a fulfilled life.The 7 roadblocks that get people stuck.What a "reverse bucket list" is and how it can help you build trust and confidence in yourself.Why publishing a book can be such a powerful force for change not only for your readers, but also in your own life and career.How to navigate the difficult work of becoming an author when you still have a full-time job.For more, check out:shiramiller.commaggielangrick.comwonderwell.pressAnd follow:instagram.com/theshiramillerinstagram.com/maggielangrickinstagram.com/wonderwellpressinstagram.com/selfishgiftpodcast

Plenty of authors leave their manuscript buried in folders, but Susan decided to chop her 90,000 word manuscript into two parts, and publish it as a series. Susan's journey is fun and whimsical as she mix and matches elements for her stories, and finds her own writing path. Getting that first novel done and dusted gave her a boost of confidence to keep going, keep writing, and always keep learning. ABOUT SUSAN LASPE: A visit to England inspired a story that would fuse Roman mythology, magic, and a medieval hero. Susan's years of inventing stories, writing 'silly poetry', and and reading challenges came to her rescue. Today, she thrives in sewing and knitting projects, drawing or watching movies. But more likely than not, she's multitasking while browsing GoodReads for her next great read. She lives with her husband, plants, and computer in St. Louis, Missouri. | WEBSITE | BOOKS About The CatholicAuthor Show The show about Catholic fiction for ordinary, modern authors!

JV Hilliard is a debut novelist and published his first book, The Last Keeper in December 2021.Like many, the global lockdown meant his work went online. He didn't have to commute and  suddenly had a lot more time on his hands. This was the opportunity he needed to write the book that had been brewing for the last two decades.Joe has loved epic fantasy ever since a substitute teacher, Mr McKinley, read The Hobbit in class. He took that passion and turned to tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, and that's where his imagination really took hold and he practiced world building - worlds he uses in his fiction.JV says he's a one hundred percent planner. He doesn't do anything unless it's worked out ahead of time. He knew his characters before he started writing, and he knew where he wanted them to end up. From there he reverse engineered the series, outlining each chapter before writing it.Part of Joe's day job is to write policy documents. This gave him the advantage of already being able to write every day. His writing muscle was well developed.What was harder was switching from non-fiction to fiction, in particular writing prose and dialogue.To help him with this, JV Hilliard enrolled in a writing class at a local workshop. This give his manuscript the opportunity to be workshopped - something I really recommend - and improved. For much of Joe's professional life, he has been an entrepreneur, and that has been crucial in giving him the business principles needed as a published author.As well as enjoying the creative side of the business, Joe recognises he's a ‘start up business'. He has one book to his name and understands this may be a ‘loss leader' until he's written the series in full and found his fan base.Once he's up and running, JV Hilliard knows he'll see the return on his investment in himself and his books.JV Hilliard tells me about Books 1 and 2 his World of Warminster series, and his serendipitous journey to publication.Given Joe's obvious enthusiasm for his work, his open demeanour and willingness to learn, it's no wonder his books have attracted the attention of his editor and publisher and it's clear to me JV Hilliard and his World of Warminster series have a very bright future.Connect with J.V.

Kudos for making the decision to become an author. Great job on making the choice to write your fiction or non-fiction work. There is more to the story than writing your story though. The real work begins after your story is finished. There are ways to avoid the scams and trauma that can come along with being a first time writer or even a seasoned writer. This week, for the first time publicly Latonia discusses her experience with Tate Publishing Company that was located in Mustang, Ok.

We'll be exploring this through the lens of traditional publishing as well going the self-publishing route. Our first guest, Kat Harris, walks us step by step through how she landed a traditional six figure publishing deal for her debut book, Sexless In The City.Growing up, Kat was very aware that writing was not her strong suit. In fact, she nearly failed her college writing course and had a teacher tell her that she was not good at it. Years later, Kat ended up starting a blog, The Refined Woman, to have candid conversations about traditionally taboo topics. Similar to myself, Kat believes in the power of transparency and I love how specific she gets with the detailed breakdown of how she landed a two book deal for $160,000 as a first time author. Listen in for Kat's inspiring story of turning her weakness into her profession, how she negotiated a $10K offer into a six figure deal, and why you should never compromise on your pricing.Connect with Kat: The Refined Collective Podcast@therefinedcollective@therefinedwomanTRW Single Ladies Private Facebook GroupIf you enjoyed today's episode, please:Join our referral rewards program by signing up for our text notifications at ellenyin.com/superfan , and share your custom referral link with your biz besties to get them to sign up too!

An artificial intelligence expert who's worked with the United Nations and IBM wrote a book on AI when he realized people are asking the same two questions about the subject: What should I be doing? How do I actually get started?  Entrepreneur-author Neil Sahota says: “Most of the books were very technical, and people couldn't understand or they were really fear mongering. I thought: ‘I will solve this problem. I'll write a book for non-technical business leaders so they can answer those two questions'.”  Neil had never written a book before, but Own the A.I. Revolution: Unlock Your Artificial Intelligence Strategy to Disrupt Your Competition was picked up by McGraw Hill and became a bestseller!   Neil is a professor at UC Irvine, IBM Master Inventor, and advisor to the United Nations on artificial intelligence. He joins Published Author Podcast host Josh Steimle to discuss writing and promoting his first book.  Top Takeaway: Have a Detailed Outline  As a first-time entrepreneur-author, Neil has many takeaways, but the essential learning is that having a detailed outline is a must.   “An outline makes the writing process so much easier,” says Neil, adding that his co-author Michael Ashley really helped him structure the book and frame the story.  “I had lots of knowledge, lots of examples of things I had done, but they were just scattershot; they didn't make sense to anybody else,” he continues. “So we spent a good five or six hours in a couple of sessions, just throwing everything out there.”     “We built a very detailed outline. It took about six weeks to build a detailed outline, it was about 54 pages long.”  Leverage Your Network  Neil reached out to thought leaders in his network for interviews to build the content for the book. This idea soon evolved into something bigger when Neil and Michael received incredibly rich contributions from big names in AI, including Peter Diamandis, Steven Kotler, Stephen Ibaraki, and Ben Goertzel. These interviews make up a full section of the book.  The two authors also interviewed people across a range of industries, as well as smaller entrepreneurs, ensuring that the book was both comprehensive and deep.  Consider Working With a Co-Author  As a first-time author, Neil knew nothing about writing or publishing. He sought out co-author Michael, who has written more than ten books.  “It was an experience that if I tried to do on my own, it probably would have fallen flat. I didn't realize how incredibly difficult it was right to write a book and how even more difficult is to get published,” says Neil. “I have a new appreciation for authors because it is a grind. It's a worthwhile grind. But it's still a grind!”  Despite the grind, Neil adds: “The experience of writing the book was way better than I ever would have imagined. I was happy to get the book and just hoped to help people. But given the kind of feedback . . . As a first time author, I was totally stoked!  Neil's collaboration with Michael has been extremely successful and they are planning two more books. Their next one is on disruptive thinking, while book number three will be on art and technology.  Neil's other key takeaways as a first-time author are:  Keep a firm focus on your audience and don't forget you are writing for them, not you A book needs to make sense to an audience and resonate with readers Even if you work with a traditional publisher, as an author you're still responsible for promoting and marketing your book Don't get too attached to your title; if your book is published by a traditional publisher the title may change Going with a traditional publisher means that they buy the book, own it, and can do whatever they want with it.  Neil also discusses what it means when a publisher has an option on an author's next book, how he promoted Own the A.I. Revolution: Unlock Your Artificial Intelligence Strategy to Disrupt Your Competition, and how he was able to expand sales beyond the original target niche.  Links   Twitter  Instagram  LinkedIn  NeilSahota.com  SUBSCRIBE TO PUBLISHED AUTHOR PODCAST  If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe.

 Dorothy shares her inspiring story of finding herself at 50 and shares many of the tools she used to help her thrive. Dorothy Husen is a licensed marriage and family therapist. Dorothy lived most of her adult life with complex post traumatic disorder due to childhood trauma. The hidden chronic stress from her childhood developed into physical chronic illness decades later. It was then, at age 48, and in therapy for the first time, that she discovered the truth of what had been holding her back in life. Her own healing journey led her to become a trauma specialist. Today, she has her own private practice in which she helps her clients dissolve their pain and live life fully. She has also recently published her first book, Transgenerational Trauma, My Journey from Surviving to Thriving.  More about Dorothy or to book an appointment: http://www.dorothyhusen.com/ Find Dorothy's book here: https://www.dorothyhusen.com/book-review

Inspirational author Shannon L. Alder said: “There is no perfection, only beautiful versions of brokenness.” That's the truth. All of us have gone through heartbreak at some point, experienced difficult moments, and had dark days we thought would never end. And while our individual life stories may be woven uniquely, we ultimately have the same story elements and patterns such as love lost and found, birth and death, abuse and healing — and the same emotions that come with these experiences.

This weeks episode is with the INCREDIBLE writer, comedian and newly published FIRST TIME AUTHOR of 'Cheer The F**k Up'...Jack ROOKE. Grief has been a recurring and relentless theme in Jack's life, having lost his father to cancer at the tender age of 15, and then a best friend to suicide at the age of 21. Both these tragic deaths had a huge impact on Jack's direction in life and career trajectory, co-writing a show about his fathers death with his 85 year old nan, Good Grief, and then, Happy Hour, a comedic tribute to his friend lost to suicide. Both shows received high acclaim at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, after which he went on to present his own BBC Three documentary series, Happy Man, the BBC Radio 4 comedy, Good Grief, and was also BBC Radio 1’s on-air expert in bereavement and mental health for The Surgery. Jack’s shows were such a success they transferred on to London’s Soho Theatre, Latitude Festival and The Roundhouse., and then in 2019 he was asked to contribute an essay to the award-winning book 'It’s Not OK to Feel Blue (& Other Lies)', curated by Scarlett Curtis. Finally, and very excitingly, his debut publication, Cheer the F**K Up is just starting it’s book tour, and is out to buy! Jack has that amazing ability to lighten and make silliness of subject matters which are usually laden with weight and taboo, whilst managing to create a healthy channel for his own grief to express itself.

Welcome back to the Instant Impact Podcast with your host, Elyse Archer. Today’s episode is a pretty special one. Elyse is chatting with her sister, Sarah. She’s done what a lot of us aspire to do--write a book. Not only that, but Sarah was picked up by a major publisher and landed a six-figure advance.    Elyse and Sarah discuss how to get started writing a book, how to find a publisher and agent, what the entire process looks like, how to make money with a book, as well as how to navigate the ups and downs that come with writing a book. From the outside, it can look like a cinderella story, but there was a lot of hardship and rejection.    Sarah lets us know the importance of starting slow when approaching a book. You don’t have to dive in the deep end at first. Writing a book one step at a time will result in a well put together story with a cohesive idea and story. Most of the hours spent writing aren’t generating words--it’s organizing and laying out your thoughts.    Regardless of your professional space or genre, this conversation promises to bring value to you and open your eyes to the prospect of writing a book.   LINKS Saraharcherwrites.com

In this inaugural episode of Author-to-Author, Catholic author Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Sabrina Chesters, a First-Time Author of a Book Called Charlotte (October 28, 2019)

Rudy Schmid is a veteran accountant and first-time author who’s written a book – America’s Guide to Starting Your Own Company – that’s helping large numbers of young adults launch their own side hustles free of the flaws that too often hobble new businesses. The concise book is also helpful for established businesses, especially when it comes to hiring and managing people, and sizing up banking relationships. Rudy seems a bit embarrassed that he waited so long to share the lessons he learned from his own accounting practice with today’s eager young entrepreneurs. "Nonsense," replies host Dean Rotbart, “At 86 years of age, Rudy is an inspiration to every would-be author who thinks he or she is ‘too old’ to start.” By the way, the Guide has been so well-received that Rudy is already working on a sequel, “How to Build Your Company for Success.” Photo: Rudy Schmid, author Posted: August 5, 2019 Monday Morning Run Time: 24 minutes 46 seconds

Christina DeBusk spent 15 years working in law enforcement before, in 2012, she caught the writing bug. Without formal journalism training, she took anything and everything that she could get, grinding out content 16 hours a day. Well, it paid off. Today Christina is an Olympic-caliber writer, having completed six books – including How to Earn a Comfortable Living as a Freelance Writer and I’ve Always Wanted to Write a Book! – 10 Easy-to-Follow Steps to Becoming a First Time Author; ghost-written a handful of others; and generated a whopping 5,000-plus paid content projects. She both teaches and personifies the notion that anyone can be a successful writer. This week, Christina shares the secret of her phenomenal output with host Dean Rotbart, who readily confesses his envy of her productivity.

Debbie chats with her husband, Sam Harrington, about the experience of writing a book and about being a first-time author. Yes, writing a book was on Sam's bucket list but he never seriously considered it until their gap year when he had the time and mental space to focus on it. A practicing physician in D.C. for 31 years, he realized he had deep knowledge and a strong point of view about how the elderly should make decisions at the end of life. The result is AT PEACE: Choosing a Good Death After a Long Life (Hachette 2018). Debbie is a nonfiction writing coach and editor and she asks Sam the tough questions about writing his book. This episode will be of interest to anyone who has A BOOK on their bucket list - lots of practical tips and truth-telling.
