Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT. Hosted by award-winning interviewer and radio host Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus dives into the stories and experiences that shape these artists, and ultimately, the music we hear.

Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions! In this episode, I sit down with Tiffany Graham Charkosky to talk about her forthcoming memoir, Living Proof (October 21, Little A), a book written and shaped over years of writing and rewriting. At just 11 years old, Tiffany lost her mother. For decades, she believed it was an unexplainable tragedy, until a DNA test unearthed information that changed everything. That discovery didn’t just reshape her understanding of her mother’s death; it also made her question what she might unknowingly pass on to her own children. INSIDE THE EPISODE The emotional (and editorial) decision-making around what belongs in a book How long it took for her story to find its true shape (and why) The surprising speed of her publishing deal once it all came together How do we process loss as kids versus adults? And what happens when new information forces us to reinterpret our past? Tiffany’s story is as deeply personal as it is universally relatable. 👉 CLICK HERE to get the first draft of your nonfiction or memoir written in 33 days! ...even if you don't have a cabin in the wilderness, 4 uninterrupted hours a day to write, or confidence that you're a "real" writer.

Ep 132: What Nobody Tells You About Making Your Book "Take Off" 24:05

منذ 13 يومًا24:05

24:05

Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions! If you’ve been chasing the magical marketing strategy that will finally make your book “take off,” welcome to the club. In this episode, I’m addressing the question nearly every author eventually asks: What does it actually take to make a book successful? Spoiler: there’s no guaranteed formula. Even authors with six-figure advances, NYT bestsellers, or celebrity blurbs still worry their latest book won’t sell. So what are we really buying when we shell out thousands for a publicist? Often, it’s access and visibility, not actual sales. You can land your book in front of all the right people, and still... crickets. Why? Because readers are human. Think about how long you’ve let a book sit in your online cart before clicking “buy,” even if you really wanted to read it. Success usually requires a mix of good writing, staying power, and yes, a little luck. But maybe it’s time we stop defining success only by sales numbers. What if it’s about writing something you’re proud of? Or connecting deeply with a few readers who say, “Your book changed me”? Marketing will always involve experimentation. And when it starts to feel like a full-time job you didn’t apply for, you have every right to pause, pivot, or try something wildly different. Your book might find its audience next week—or three years from now—in a way you never expected. 👉 CLICK HERE to get the first draft of your nonfiction or memoir written in 33 days! ...even if you don't have a cabin in the wilderness, 4 uninterrupted hours a day to write, or confidence that you're a "real" writer.

Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions! Miranda Cowley Heller's father was a book editor; her grandfather edited Jack Kerouac and was friends with Hemingway. That legacy, while inspiring, left her frozen when it came to pursuing her own writing. Instead, she built a thriving career in publishing and TV, eventually heading up drama series at HBO. Then, in her 50s, she wrote the novel she’d been carrying around for years, The Paper Palace , which became a New York Times #1 bestseller and a Reese’s Book Club pick. Now, she's returned to her first creative love—poetry—with a stunning new collection: The Deep Water Knows . “Poetry is almost like putting snapshots of your soul into the world,” she tells me. In this episode, Miranda gets real about the myth of getting wiser with age, the vulnerability of releasing creative work into the world, and why your voice is never too late to matter. 👉 CLICK HERE to get the first draft of your nonfiction or memoir written in 33 days! ...even if you don't have a cabin in the wilderness, 4 uninterrupted hours a day to write, or confidence that you're a "real" writer.

Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions! What started as sharing her story online about living with chronic illness turned into a book deal with Penguin Random House. In this episode, Gigi Robinson shares how she leveraged consistency, relationships, and a clear vision to go from content creator to published author. Here’s what we get into: Why she chose to write A Kid’s Book About Chronic Illness (and how it ended up getting picked up by Penguin/DK). The ridiculously simple promo strategy Gigi swears by: bring the book everywhere and make it part of the conversation. Why she went the children’s book route to make a heavy topic more digestible. Her take on promotion as storytelling , not selling. How she filters advice from all the "experts” while staying aligned with her bigger vision. 👉 CLICK HERE to get the first draft of your nonfiction or memoir written in 33 days! ...even if you don't have a cabin in the wilderness, 4 uninterrupted hours a day to write, or confidence that you're a "real" writer.

Ep 121: Lights, Camera, Book Launch with Noël Stark 49:44

منذ 13 weeks49:44

Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions! This week, I sat down with debut author Noël Stark, who went from wrangling chaos behind the scenes in the TV and film world to wrangling words on the page, often in 15-minute bursts. Her novel, Love Camera Action, flips the script on Hollywood romance by spotlighting the crew, not the stars (and the 3 peppers on the spice scale are sure to attract an audience quickly. Inside the Episode: Why Noël intentionally wrote a love story about the people behind the camera. How it took her three years to finish her manuscript (and why that timeline is totally okay if not to be expected). The rollercoaster of Pitch Wars, querying 40+ agents, and the 18-month wait from “yes” to launch day.

Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions! What do a flooded house, a nine-month (and still going) renovation, and a debut novel have in common? Angelika Morini. In this episode, Angelika shares what it actually looked like to finish her first novel, Do You See Me Now? —while living in chaos (read: house stripped to the studs). We talk about why character development can feel a lot like falling in love with someone mysterious and how launching a book is less of a finish line and more like Mile One of a marathon you didn’t know you signed up for. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: The (not so) glamorous reality of writing and editing during a home renovation from hell Why marketing Book One while dreaming up Book Two can feel like a bit of a tightrope act The decision to write in English (even though she’s German) Weaving the complexities of post-reunification Germany into her novel The way she allowed her characters to show up and surprise her (no outline, no problem!) 👉 CLICK HERE to get the first draft of your nonfiction or memoir written in 33 days! ...even if you don't have a cabin in the wilderness, 4 uninterrupted hours a day to write, or confidence that you're a "real" writer.

Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions! You’ve probably heard the phrase “your book is your business card.” While it sounds cute for a Canva graphic, it totally downplays the blood, sweat, and editing tears that go into creating a book that actually matters. We’re not here for books that gather dust—we’re here for books that make an impact (and, at the very least, pay for lunch). If you’re dreaming of launching a book that does more than take up space in your trunk, this episode with Naren Aryal, CEO and publisher of Amplify Publishing Group, is for you! Inside this episode: 📚 Why the “book as a business card” mindset can actually cost you more than it helps 💸 What most authors really need in order to turn a profit (hint: it’s more than just book sales) 🤖 How AI can be a brilliant assistant for your research and marketing; but no, it can’t tell your story for you 🛒 What you need to know about Amazon ads (yes, they work, but only when you know your niche) 💃 The truth nobody wants to hear: If you want your book to sell, you have to show up, regardless of how you published it 👉 CLICK HERE to get the first draft of your nonfiction or memoir written in 33 days! ...even if you don't have a cabin in the wilderness, 4 uninterrupted hours a day to write, or confidence that you're a "real" writer.
