Balancing the Art of Writing with the Business of Publishing

Indie Author Fringe


This fall, I once again participated in the ALLi Indie Author Fringe Festival, which is a day-long series of online workshops for independent authors. My sessions usually focus on the nuts and bolts of digital media, but this time I dug into the more psychological side of the writing life—how to bring together the art and business sides of our career in a way that doesn’t feel like a bad marriage. Here’s a direct link to the video; it’s a 30-minute talk.
