Should You Change Genres? 5 Key Questions To Help You Make The Leap Successfully (EP#564)

Dreaming of writing in a new genre? In this episode of the SPA Girls Podcast (EP564), all four SPA Girls answer a listener’s question about switching genres as a self-published author, including how Cheryl knew it was the right time to move from contemporary romance to cozy mysteries. Whether your books aren’t selling, you’re bored with your current genre, or a new trend is calling your name, this episode gives you a 5-question framework to make the decision with confidence. Changing genres is one of the biggest decisions in an indie author career — it can mean a new pen name, new covers, new marketing, and starting your readership from scratch. We unpack when a genre switch makes sense, when a tweak to your current genre is the smarter move, and how to test a new genre before you commit. #SelfPublishing #IndieAuthor #AuthorTips 1️⃣ Check your motivation — are you running FROM something or stepping TOWARD something? 2️⃣ Check your relationship with your current genre — would a tweak fix it? 3️⃣ Check your timing — where are you in your career and catalogue? 4️⃣ Check your brand and readers — will they follow you? 5️⃣ Check your practical reality — so you can plan your switch for success 🔗 CONNECT WITH THE SPA GIRLS: 🌐 Website & free self-publishing resources: http://www.SelfPublishingAuthorsPodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe to our weekly episodes on your favourite podcast app — search “SPA Girls Podcast” ❤️ Watch our episode recordings on the SPA Girls Podcast You Tube Channel http://www.youtube.com/c/SPAGirlsPodcast 💗 This podcast is supported by our amazing Patreon community! ⭐ Join at the $10 tier for access to our private Self-Publishing Mastermind group where we discuss marketing, writing, and answer your burning questions: http://www.patreon.com/spagirlspodcast #
