Writers Advice

Hello Fabulous Writers!

Welcome back to another episode of the Writers Advice Podcast! This is our first solo advice episode, where i touch on some pieces of advice that have been given by other authors and go more in depth on the how-to apply the advice to your own writing and career. Or like this episode, I completely flip the script.

This episode is breaking down the common advice that is given on a lot of writing platforms. Which is choosing to write to market if you want to break into your genre. I don't believe this is always necassary, and here is my spin on the advice. Enjoy!
