Co-Writing With Family. Lessons Learned From Penny Appleton
We all want to do the best for our family, but can you really help those you love with launching a new writing career? In today's show, I interview my Mum about what we learned co-writing the Penny Appleton sweet romances together.
In the intro, Kobo launches their new ebook and audiobook store with Walmart [Publishing Perspectives], BookBub introduces Featured New Releases [BookBub blog], and could podcasting be a good marketing method for children's book authors? [CNN Money].
Plus, Christie's is about to auction off an AI-generated portrait created by a two-part algorithm and I discuss why personal branding and author voice will be the only way to stand out in the future. [Christies]
