S49E6 – If I Want to Be a Career Author, Should I Stick to One Genre?

This is a question we see a lot in the writing spaces where newer authors are looking for advice as they set off on their careers. There seems to be a belief that if an author is starting, they cannot branch into other genres – that they should pick one and stick with it in order to build their fanbase.

Listen to this episode for more on why, and how the answer to this question changes throughout an author’s journey. First aired December 21, 2023.
