The Novel:Built to FallThe Author:Julia WolfThe Not-so-Noobie:Liz, Co-host of Nerdy Bitches PodcastIG: @nerdybitchesTwitter: @nerdybitchespod The Synopsis:“You're perfect for this job, Claire. He won't want to sleep with you. You're not his...type.” Dominic Cantrell has been famous almost as long as I've been alive, but he remains a dark, volatile mystery. I know why I was hired to handle Dominic's PR while he's on tour. It's not because of my experience—I have next to none. It's because I'm safe. Plain, quiet, shy, with more-than-ample curves, I won't distract him.What I didn't count on was Dominic distracting me instead. I shouldn't be so drawn to him. He's too old for me, too closed-off, and definitely too angry, but I've been a good girl for far too long. Why can't I be just a little bit bad, especially when my rock star fantasy is so willing to corrupt me?Our fling has an expiration date at the end of the tour. No strings, no feelings, no heartbreak when it's over. I tell myself I won't fall. But I don't know if I'm built that way. *Content Warnings* One scene of physical abuse, memories of off-the-page physical and emotional abuse, drug and alcohol use.Show Notes:** Patreon Updates!- Introducing Liz Serna, author and co-host of Nerdy Bitches- Redefining "nerds" and looking at when "nerds" become "gatekeepers"- An aside about narcissistic personalities (that isn't really an aside)- Healing through humor and how that relates to today's reading, Built to Fall (00:17:01)- Check out the Romance Happy Hour Book Box- 26 year age gap or 400 years?- Put a pin in the biting...

In episode 70, Christine Munroe interviews bestselling romance author Melissa Foster. Over 7 years of self-publishing, Melissa has tons of insightful advice to offer, including why authors should stick to their passion instead of chasing trends, and why she will always manage her own social media and all public-facing marketing efforts. Tune in to hear them discuss: Melissa published her first book in 2009. She's now released over 50 English-language titles, including 15 last year, and 13 in 2016 She started by approaching agents, and could paper her walls with rejection letters Her first published book was Megan's Way, and she sold over 100k copies of it over the first year Today she works with a literary agent for her work in translation. She submitted one book for traditional publishers recently, but decided to not make a deal because they couldn't offer more than she could accomplish on her own. “I'm pretty much indie to stay now unless something fabulous comes up” One major concern about using a traditional publisher is the high list price – she wants to keep her readers happy with a price they can afford. That's more important to her than getting a traditional publisher. They also can't keep up with her publishing schedule – the best publishers could offer is once every 4 months, which isn't enough for all of her series she has going right now She's a “chat-a-holic” on social media and does all of her social media herself EverAfter Romance is handling her paperback distribution for her into bookstores She works with a developmental and copy editor, then a group of 5 copyeditors, to make sure every book is clean before it hits the market Why and how she has incorporated LGBT romance into her Harborside Nights series. There's a lesbian couple and a gay couple – it never occurred to her to separate out a couple because of their sexual preference. Some authors warned her that she might alienate her core audience but that hasn't happened “I would encourage any author who feels passionate about a story not to hold back on writing it simply because other people think it's not a good idea…my thought going into this is that I trust my readers” Best advice for launching a new book: 1) Be everywhere. 2) Advertise outside of the typical avenues for your genre – look to the subthemes of your book and get a wider audience Think of branding in a broad way. For example, imagine your covers being identifiable by site on a shelf. Also, brand at a price bracket - don't start by putting all of your books at $.99; brand at the price where you want to end up What she wishes she would have done differently along the way – she handed off managing her social media to someone for a little while, but that did not go well. She gets significant value from connecting with them directly, herself She also doesn't advise trying to chase trends and figure out what made other people successful. Publishing changes so quickly that if you're writing for a trend, it may have shifted by the time your book is ready to publish. Also, often marketing efforts are happening behind the scenes, and you can't know from external research what went into making a book or author successful “Every authorship is different…. You have to figure out your readership and how you fit with them” It is absolutely essential to get your book edited – you are a representative of independently published authors and books. Don't rush to publish; if you can't afford a good editor, wait to publish until you can Your best marketing plan is always writing your next book Melissa Foster writes sexy and heartwarming contemporary romance, new adult romance and women's fiction with emotionally compelling characters that stay with you long after you turn the last page. Readers adore Melissa's fun, flirty, and sinfully sexy, award-winning big family romance collection, LOVE IN BLOOM featuring the Snow Sisters, Bradens, Remingtons, Ryders, Seaside Summer, Harborside Nights, and the Wild Boys After Dark. Melissa's emotional journeys are lovingly erotic, perfect beach reads, and always family oriented.

Episode 39 features the one and only... Bella Andre! Bella is a self-publishing superstar, one of the original KWL beta testers when we started off in 2012, NYT and USA Today bestselling Romance and New Adult author, and all-around lovely and fun person to talk to. Christine Munroe hosts this episode and chats with Bella about her publishing journey, including (listen up!) her secrets for success. In this can't-miss episode, Christine and Bella discuss: The turning point in Bella's career in April 2010, when she put eBooks up for sale and several days later checked and realized she had sold several hundred copies. Her work creating the visual brand of Bella Andre. She recommends that authors treat themselves like the bestseller they want to be. In her case, that started with making her name prominent on her covers. Bella's learn-by-doing approach, including creating her own covers, which she does to this day. There is a great virtue in putting in blood, sweat, and tears and understanding how to do everything yourself before passing it off and outsourcing part of the publishing process. The origins of the pen names Bella Andre and Lucy Kevin. Her promise: she will never disappoint her readers. Bella's unique 7-figure, print-only deal with Harlequin MIRA. Her translation partnership with KWL, creating French editions of five Lucy Kevin titles. The opportunities Bella says no to - including a reality TV show. Why Bella enjoys collaborating with other authors (including Melissa Foster and Jennifer Skully), and her best advice for making a collaborative relationship work: "always be nice." Will she ever run out of Sullivans? (Thankfully, no!) At the end of the episode, Christine catches up with KWL Director Mark Lefebvre. They discuss why it's so important for authors to network with retailers - from the very beginning, Bella impressed Mark and he wanted to help her succeed on Kobo. They also talk about KWL's recent third birthday and the most exciting new projects we have in the works for our authors. Thanks for listening!
