Have you ever wondered how the big name fiction writers get to where they are?

In a recent writer’s lab that is part of the How to Write a Novel that Sells course, one of the students said she wanted a traditional publisher because she didn’t want to do the work of marketing and promoting the book.

How to break it to her… whether you are self-published, hybrid published, or traditionally published, your publisher is not going to market – the marketing aspect of your book is 100% on your shoulders.

In this episode, Lana McAra reveals the ugly secret successful writers don’t share – being a successful fiction writer is a business, and not everything you need to do will necessarily be profitable.

However, when you use this episode as a checklist of the bases you need to cover, you may find yourself coming to enjoy, or at least appreciate, what it takes to get your #Unputdownable fiction book into the hands of your audience.
