Being an Author vs. Running a Business as an Author

Is there a difference between being an author versus running a business as an author? In this interview with Joanna Penn, we discuss some of the important shifts that happen when you begin treating your writing (and/or your art) also as your business.

We also cover:

The trade-offs that can make full-time writing possible
The business models that writers are using these days
The commonalities of authors making over $100,000 per year
Understanding the profit and loss statement for your book

Joanna offers up our interview in three ways:

A 45-minute video you can watch
A transcript at her blog
An audio-only version (at the top of the page)

I’m grateful to Joanna for inviting me as a guest on her series, and hope you find some useful takeaways in our discussion.
