Making Money With Emotion – Author Interview!

What better way to start the year than with a fabulous author interview!

The Hybrid Author podcast interviews industry professionals on all aspects of forging a career as a hybrid author: writing across genres, mixing writing styles, publishing all ways and getting comfortable marketing your books. This week saw the release of its 109th episode, and in it host Joanne Morrell interviews me!

We talk about:

  • Ways of monetising a creative career
  • How creatives might make money with emotions via the Japanese concept Ikigai
  • How I’ve applied earning money through emotion in my own author career
  • My advice to authors struggling to tap into the emotional aspects of their work
  • And much more!

I had so much fun during this interview, and must have impressed Joanne because afterwards she asked me to edit her manuscript!

Find out what I said that appealed so much to her by listening over here:

The interview starts after about 5 minutes, and it’s only 30 minutes long – so please click ‘play’ and enjoy!
