The Authorpreneur Podcast - Writing & Self Publishing Tips

Send us a text

Welcome to the final instalment of this two-part mini-series on how to write a novel with genre expectations in mind. There's nothing worse than reaching the halfway mark as you write your first draft or even as you're starting the revision stage to realise that you're not sure if there's a market for your book. If this is where you are at, then don't panic; it's quite normal not to know what genre you're writing in as you write or finish your first book.
But there's something you can do about it.
In this episode, I'm going to share with you five steps to revising your story with genre expectations in mind.
Thanks for listening, and happy reading and writing, everybody.
