  • Summary

  • Some authors just want to get their book "out there." They don't plan on writing additional books or becoming professionals. But others want to make writing a career and maybe pay the bills with income earned from their writing.
    If you want to have a career as a professional writer, you have to do at least two things.
    First, you must become an amazing writer. Second, you need to start acting like a business owner. Regardless of whether you're independently or traditionally published, you'll need to keep track of finances, payments, taxes, marketing, and a lot more.
    You must be willing to wear their business hats to be considered professionals.
    If that sounds overwhelming, this week's episode will provide some relief and direction. In my interview with Angela Hunt, you'll learn:

    • What upfront and ongoing costs an author should plan for
    • A bare-bones method for tracking your business income and expenses
    • A Thomas-approved method for getting free feedback
    • And much more

    If you want to make a career out of your writing and pay bills with the income you earn, listen in or check out the blog post version of this episode to learn how.
