The Authorpreneur Podcast™️ is hosted by Mystery Author Amelia D. Hay.

Season one of the podcast is on Plot and Story Structure, and season two documents her writing adventures during her first year after self-publishing her debut novel. The current podcast season is about how to outline and the pre-writing phase. Once a month, in the Behind the Scenes Podcast Diary, Amelia shares her adventures with writing and self-publishing.
