Description
What is a Career Author (August 2020)?What does it mean to be a career author? This is not an easy question to answer and one that involves a deeper discussion on how we define this elusive creature.  Every writer with aspirations of making money from their words has a different definition of success. For some, it’s all about the “x-figure author,” but for others lifestyle matters more than revenue. Also, is financial gain the only way to define a career author? The guys answer with a resounding “no” while exploring alternative ways of measuring your own success in the publishing industry. The Career Author Podcast is a podcast where co-authors J. Thorn and Zach Bohannon share their struggles and successes as full-time authors, advice for improving your writing craft, and honest discussions of what it takes to build a successful career as an author. In this episode, you’ll discover: The ways authors measure financial successWhy independence is hard to quantify but might ultimately be more important than revenueHow some authors define success by their level of skill, experience, or statusWhy it's difficult to arrive at a consensus on what makes a “career author” or “indie writer.” Also, J. recommends a new podcast about technology and culture.
