Ch. 84 | #1 NYT Bestselling Author Carley Fortune is Taking the Literary World by Storm
from The Word Weaver Podcast · host Louise Johnson
New York Times Bestselling Author Carley Fortune is our generation's Taylor Swift of the literary world. She's taken the romance genre by storm with over 2 million books sold worldwide and 4 books in 4 years (plus, she rocks a red lip like nobody's business). Fresh off of her global book tour where readers ("The Fortunates") exchanged friendship bracelets, I caught up with Carley in-between home renovations in her new writing office on the heels of announcing her next romance novel (a return to Barry's Bay with One Golden Summer!). We dish on everything from postpartum anxiety, to social media as an author, to Fortune's formula for success (hint: audience & authenticity are paramount). Smart, savvy, and sweet as summer, I hope you love this convo with Carley as much as I did.Carley Fortune’s Books:Every Summer AfterMeet Me at the LakeThis Summer Will be DifferentOne Golden SummerCarley Fortune’s Links:Website: carleyfortune.comInstagram: @carleyfortuneWord Weaver Podcast LinksShow Notes: louiseclairejohnson.com/podcastInstagram: @wordweaverpodcastNEW episodes weekly every Word Weaver Wednesday.
