Hello, and welcome to Coffee & Real Talk for Writers. I'm a multi-genre indie author, developmental editor, and a career creative. Grab a cuppa and let's chat about the writer's life.

In this episode, I talk about being inspired to do better at direct sales, the results of my experiment with AI Narration, and the struggle with setting book prices, as well as a shift I'm thinking of making to increase writing productivity.
