A curated collection of the latest and most interesting podcast episodes about the author life.
Hey fellow writer! I’m Christine Daigle. I’m excited to share recent podcasts I loved about where publishing may go with writing mediums, social media, and marketing! Currently, I’m co-writing two serials, one sci-fi and one horror, on Kindle Vella under the pen name LP Styles. I think serial fiction is up-and-coming and everyone should try it to see if it’s your thing. Deadlines and readers asking for the next episode are great motivation for those of us who need accountability or struggle with attention and focus like me! Audiences expect at least one 1000–2500 word episode a week. Sounds like a doable commitment, right? I encourage you to check it out and talk to serial fiction authors in The Author Success Mastermind or the Discord and Facebook groups where top serial authors are happy to help you get started!

The Wildcard: Interesting Episode from a Non-Writing Related Show
Hidden Brain // Choose Carefully
Host Shankar Vedantam speaks with psychologist Eric Johnson about “choice architecture”. Discover how we make inadvertent choices, default choices, and choices based on endorsement. Topics covered include how we choose car insurance, college majors, presidents, romantic partners, and to give away our first-born child! Even stranger, how a mentalist isn’t a mind reader but a mind writer. A fantastic non-writing podcast for writers, as it’s easy to extrapolate how choice architecture can apply to constructing consistent characters and marketing.
