Failing Forward with Jonathan Yanez

What this episode covers

In 2012, Jonathan Yanez quit his job, cashed in his 401K, and decided to go-for-broke as a full-time independent author. Now, he’s a bestselling SF&F author with a sizable backlist. In conventional narrative, it’s tempting to only talk about the success, but in this interview, Jonathan busts the myths of the overnight success and talks about the hard times and failures, too. In his own words, he’s made “every mistake imaginable.” And yet, he’s come out ahead. If you’re looking for the inspiration to “get it done,” look no further than today’s episode of The Fearless Storyteller. To learn more about Jonathan, visit his website.
