The writersdoubtclub’s Podcast

Hey friend — we just closed out season two of the Writers' Doubt Club, celebrating tiny and huge wins, sharing how collaboration fuels us, and learning to treat criticism as helpful data instead of a verdict. It’s cozy, honest, and full of encouragement. Come tell us one thing you’re proud of this season at writersdoubtclub.com — we’ll cheer you on. Doubt less, write more.

Hey friend—this episode of the Writer's Doubt Club, “Everybody Is Watching,” is your friendly cheat sheet for putting your book out there without turning into a social media expert overnight. We cover picking one platform that fits your readers and your energy, how to promote without sounding spammy, dealing with trolls (mute, block, breathe), smart ad options, and practical book-signing tips like practice signatures and bringing pens. Short, realistic, and kind to your nerves—this is marketing for writers who want results, not burnout.

Yay! We're so glad you're here. Today's episode is called KISS — Keep It Simple, Stupid. We're walking through the essentials for your author website: what to include (short bio, author photo, books with purchase links, contact, events, and social links), how to pick a domain, easy builders you can use, and why keeping it updated matters. No pressure — your site doesn't need to win design awards. Just make a clean, easy-to-navigate home base that helps readers and industry folks find you. Pick a platform this week, claim your domain, and put up something you’re proud to share. Keep writing!

Hey friend — this episode is your nudge to start building your author ecosystem now: choose the platforms your readers actually use, decide whether a pen name makes sense, and be authentic rather than everywhere. Keep it simple, post consistently, and remember every event, post, and connection adds up — doubt less, write more, and have fun meeting your future readers.

Hey friend — if formatting makes you want to throw your laptop, this episode is your comfort zone. We talk margins, widows and orphans, Vellum vs. Scrivener headaches, proof copies, and even audiobook options so your book reads and listens like a pro. Start with one format, pick tools that fit your budget and patience, order a proof, and give your book the polish it deserves. Doubt less, write more — your words deserve a great home.

In this episode we talk about designing a cover that actually speaks to readers, from getting your vision across to the trials (and tears) of drafts, designers, and final choices. Consider this your friendly reminder: trust your instincts, lean into the mix of art and marketing, and know you can get a cover that feels like the perfect handshake between you and your reader.

Hey friend — Nicole walks you through the editing journey in a way that actually feels doable: developmental, line, copy edits and proofreading, what to fix before you send your draft, and how to pick an editor who gets your voice. If you’re nervous about handing over your manuscript, this episode is your gentle nudge — practical tips, myth-busting honesty, and a little boost to keep you excited about revising. You’ve got this.

Hey friend — if you’ve been thinking about ditching query letters and calling the shots, this episode’s for you. We break down the real perks of self-publishing and walk through KDP, IngramSpark, and a neat new option called Books.by. No sugarcoating: it costs money and you’ll wear all the hats, but we share honest numbers, practical tips, and the motivation you need to push through to that publish button. Doubt less, write more — and we’ve got your back.

Hey friend — if you’re wrestling with where to put your words in the world, this episode is for you. We break down hybrid publishers, vanity presses, and the wild but rewarding world of web platforms like Wattpad and Inkitt, with real takeaways and real cautionary tips. We also chat with Kirsha about her honest, sometimes scary, always hopeful path to a full book—proof that you don’t need to have it all figured out to start. Take a breath: you’ve got options, and your story matters.

Hey friend — in this episode we walk through what traditional publishing actually looks like: query letters, literary agents, publishers, and the sometimes maddening middle steps like tracking submissions and pitching on social platforms. You’ll hear practical tips (use a tracker, tailor each query, try pitch parties, and yes — let AI do some of the heavy lifting), plus honest talk about the fears that slow writers down and how to keep going. Take a deep breath — you’ve got a story worth sharing, and this episode gives you the roadmap and encouragement to start querying with confidence.

Description: Hey friend — revision can feel painful, but this episode makes it less scary. We walk through alpha vs. beta readers, how to collect feedback that actually helps, and simple tricks (read-alouds, focused groups, and smart stops) to make revising doable. So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let’s turn that messy draft into something you’re excited to publish — not perfect, just yours.

Today’s episode — Adulting — walks you through copyrights, ISBNs, and the legal things writers usually dodge. Think of it as paperwork with heart: small steps that keep your work yours. It’s not glamorous, but protecting your words is worth it. You wrote it — now lock the door, then get back to writing the good stuff.

Hey friend — huge congrats on finishing your manuscript! This season of Writers' Doubt Club is all about what comes next: revisions, beta readers, copyrights and ISBNs, cover design, and whether to self-publish or chase a traditional deal. We’ll keep it practical, honest, and encouraging — think of us as your biggest fans cheering you past doubt so you can get your work out into the world. Tune in and let’s do this together.

Hey friend — this episode is an invitation to dig into why your writing matters: the lessons you leave, the impressions you make, and the responsibility your words carry. We talk about wanting readers to be entertained and maybe a little uncomfortable, about themes like "family is what you make it" and "be yourself," and how real growth happens when characters are pushed out of their comfort zones. We also get honest about biases — the little assumptions that can sneak into your work — and how being aware, inclusive, and thoughtful about characters (from small towns to different cultures) can open readers' minds and build empathy. This workbook pushed us to organize, face hard questions, and get ready to publish. Congrats for showing up — progress over perfection. Doubt less, write more. We can’t wait to read your work.

Where uncertainty meets creativity. Doubt less, write more. Today's episode is called The Importance of Being Earnest. We're going to talk about why writing matters to us and the world. Join us as we look at how writing helps us understand ourselves and connects us to other people. Look at all the reasons we find to write about our experiences, made up worlds, or a little of both. This is our last episode of season 1 and we're so happy to have you go through this journey with us!! 

Hey friend — The side-character web in the workbook is a genius, simple way to map who supports, challenges, or reveals parts of your main character. Give each person a purpose, even the bubbly Brenda or the mysterious Thorne — they’ll stop being filler and start pushing your story forward. Fill the circles, name the faces (yes, even the Martian leaders), and use the right-hand notes to add age, goals, quirks, and how they change your MC. It’s quick, fun, and honestly game-changing — go make those side characters matter.

Hey friend — in this episode we chat about how side characters and pets quietly hold up your story, when to give them backstory, and how to keep them consistent so they feel real without stealing the show. Short tips, funny affirmations, and a workbook nudge to help you track names, motives, and where that dog belongs in every scene. Doubt less, write more.

Hey, writer — this bonus episode digs into the kind of physical, purposeful action that makes scenes pulse: Tierney’s cabin-versus-monster waterfall set-piece and Anna’s frantic house-and-shed escape. You’ll hear about rock-throwing kids, pixie-dust bombs, clumsy fight moves, and instinctual banishing — all the juicy bits that show who your characters really are. Grab your workbook, notice the little gestures and weird ticks, and let those details do the heavy lifting.  Keep writing — you’ve totally got this.

Hey friend — welcome to the episode all about making action feel real without turning your book into a how-to guide. We’ll focus on choreography, stakes, sensory detail, and the emotional reaction of your characters so readers can picture every hit and heartbeat. Keep it believable: hint at abilities ahead of time, choose words that match intensity, and use research or lived experience to add texture.  Write messy first drafts, get feedback, and tighten for clarity and pace. You’ve got this — now go punch up those scenes (figuratively) and make your readers sit at the edge of their seats.
