Manage episode 407400453 series 3560565
Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors!
In this episode, I chat with return guest, prolific author, freelance writer, book editor, and all-round cool guy, Troy Lambert. Troy shares the ups and downs of his journey towards making a living as a full-time author, as well as offering solid advice for you to do the same. He also shares:
· How a motorcycle accident and brush with death was the catalyst for him taking his writing seriously.
· How freelancing grew his skills in the business side of writing.
· Why writing on the beach is overrated.
· Why education is essential to success, but an MFA isn’t.
· The skills and traits you need to make a living as an author, and why it’s okay to keep writing as a hobby.
· Signs you’re ready to quit your day job.
· The impact of a writing career on your family and friends.
· The unusual things people will ask you as an author.
· And why writing for a living is the most amazing profession you’ll ever embark on!
If you’re ready, or even just curious, about taking your writing to the next level and embarking on a full-time writing career, then this episode is for you!
