Episode 016 / Romance and suspense author Alessandra Torre joins the WIKT podcast for a wide-ranging discussion that covers the benefits of Goodreads, what it’s like to have a book optioned and made into a movie, the importance of knowing readers expectations, and how meeting those expectations consistently contributes to success. You can get Alessandra’s Goodreads tips when you sign up for Jami’s launch plan. You can find show notes and links at wishidknownforwriters.com. In the intro, Sara shares some good news about Murder by the Book, a local indie bookstore that’s innovating and surviving during lockdown. Sara also recommends the Novel Marketing Podcast’s episode on Covid-19, which looks at how the virus and the lockdown will impact which genres and types of stories readers will want in the coming months and years. Jami also liked Novel Marketing Podcast’s episode on Scarcity and Ubiquity and Sara liked the one on Psychographics. On the writing front, Jami’s finished a book. She talks about how it’s been difficult to concentrate lately, so if you’re feeling the same way, you’re not alone. :) Jami’s novella was featured on Read Me Romance, and she appeared on D2D Spotlight. In this podcast episode, you’ll discover: Why taking a traditional book deal was a mistake for Alessandra The importance staying with a niche when you have success and how that helps create a recognizable brand Why Goodreads is a great place to promote your books and how to use the site Why having author friends is helpful with emotional support as well as gaining knowledge about the industry How teaching helps you learn The ups and downs of movie options and what it’s like to have your book made into a movie What Alessandra’s learned about genre and how important it is for all parts of the book to match the genre How Alessandra gets it all done -- “It’s better to do something than nothing.” Why having great books is the cornerstone of success and why patience is so important Genres discussed include romance, romantic suspense, senspense, and romantic comedy.

She's co-writing two different projects and having a blast. We discuss how to find a writing partner who sticks, how writing that's fun is super motivating (which is obvious when I write it down, but never occurs to me when I'm writing), and how sometimes a scene sounds awesome in your head and then is blah when you write it down.Relevant: As mentionedReddit LinkRead Me RomanceRemember to check out the NaNo-It-All website, and send us an e-mail at nanoitallpodcast@gmail.com for us to talk about on the air!
