S51E6 - Interacting With Other Authors
from Writing Roots · host Writing Roots
Authors often feel pressure to be active on social media, particularly TikTok, in order to get and keep a substantial following. This is largely new territory, and some long-time authors are finding themselves in hot water because they don't understand the spaces they're stepping into. Particularly, they don't understand the support out there for self-published books. When you decide to be an author, you decide to be a public figure of sorts. You will need to interact with other authors for a variety of reasons. As a result, you need to learn how to interact with other authors without making enemies or offending large groups who may choose a different writing path than you. First aired February 19, 2024.

What this episode covers
All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand. - George Orwell
