022: Navigating real or perceived pressures as an author

Learn what it’s like to navigate real or perceived pressures as an author, and how your host Sagan Morrow has handled that. Polyamory is a niche topic to write as a romance author—and that means there can be a lot of pressures around it!  How do you as an author ensure you are best representing the community? And what can you do to deal with situations when readers want you to write one thing or another? Should authors ever be dictated what to write about… and how can that be balanced with the importance of encouraging authors to use their platform in meaningful ways?  We explore these questions and more in this episode of the Indie Author Weekly podcast!  Access sample chapters of Sagan's novels, transcripts of each episode, cheatsheets and spreadsheets relevant to the episode topics, and additional resources, at SaganMorrow.com/secretpodcast.  Resources & links mentioned in this episode:  Learn more about Sagan’s books at SaganMorrow.com/books  Tune into the “secret” version of this podcast at SaganMorrow.com/secretpodcast  Submit your questions at SaganMorrow.com/question  Lauren Layne (author)  Bending the Bookshelf (blog)  Connect with Sagan (@Saganlives) on Twitter and Instagram.
