023: How to create a playlist for your book

Learn a step-by-step method for how to create a playlist for the next book you write in this episode of the indie author podcast. Although creating playlists can be time-consuming, it’s also a straightforward process that everyone (author and readers alike) can benefit from!  Plus, find out a few of the songs your host Sagan Morrow chose to feature as the “soundtrack” for her books, and why you might want to choose more emotional songs vs. high-energy songs based on the character and mood and scenes in the books. Explore tension between characters through music when you have special book-specific playlists.  This episode also shares why you need to think about how quickly the average reader goes through a book, so that your song choices match up with the chapters inside your book.  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  Playlist for Book 1 (A Choice Between Two): SaganMorrow.com/playlist1 Playlist for Book 2 (Gaming the System): SaganMorrow.com/playlist2  Playlist for Book 3 (Make Me Forget): SaganMorrow.com/playlist3  Playlist for Book 4 (She Wants More): SaganMorrow.com/playlist4  Playlist for Book 5 (Being Good): SaganMorrow.com/playlist5  Master soundtrack for the entire Polyamorous Passions series: SaganMorrow.com/polypassionsplaylist  Connect with Sagan (@Saganlives) on Twitter and Instagram.
