#27 - Do You Want to Become an Author?

from Safety Last · host Stanley Ching

I know a handful of people who have said they want to become an author, people who have sworn that they have the winning recipe for the next best-selling novel, people have had revealed that they've always wanted to publish their thoughts onto a page. Yet, the stark reality is that I don't know a single person who has actually completed the task. Which is where I come in, I understand how daunting it may seem to have a passion but feel like you have no way to channel that into something concrete. In this podcast, I touch upon a number of different topics, all of which are aimed to help you finally succeed and transfer the thoughts swirling around your brain into something tangible that can be enjoyed by hundreds of others. Some of the questions that I answer are: Should you self-publish or traditionally-publish your novel? How to maintain your motivation? What are some pieces of art that inspired me? Is KDP better than IngramSpark? Should you get an editor, and how much did they cost? Along with much, much more.
