Description

For the first episode of a two-part series about being a hybrid author, I have the wonderful and talented Stephanie Burgis on the podcast to talk about her journey of starting with traditional publishing and adding indie titles to the mix. We talked about:



  • Diversifying your author income streams

  • How to decide whether a project should be trad or indie

  • The creative and logistical benefits of writing novellas

  • Building a Patreon community that doesn’t add a ton of work to your plate

  • And more!


You can learn more about Stephanie (and her fabulous books!) on her website, Instagram, and Patreon.
