Secrets to Author Success with Alessandra Torre of InkersCon

The Author Wheel Podcast

SURPRISE!
We said we were taking a break for the summer—and we are—but we couldn't skip this opportunity to have the fabulous Alessandra Torre on the show to talk about her journey into writing, publishing, and running one of the best writer conferences in the country.
Alessandra (AR) Torre is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of more than 30 novels. In addition to writing, she's the co-founder of Authors AI and Inkers Con.
In this interview, Alessandra shares how a spontaneous tweak in her book description led to massive success, how she's overcome writer's block and the inertia of the messy middle, and why she developed Inkers Con, an online-first conference geared to help writers across all stages find success for their career.
