Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors! In this episode, I chat with return guest, prolific author, freelance writer, book editor, and all-round cool guy, Troy Lambert. Troy shares the ups and downs of his journey towards making a living as a full-time author, as well as offering solid advice for you to do the same. He also shares: · How a motorcycle accident and brush with death was the catalyst for him taking his writing seriously. · How freelancing grew his skills in the business side of writing. · Why writing on the beach is overrated. · Why education is essential to success, but an MFA isn’t. · The skills and traits you need to make a living as an author, and why it’s okay to keep writing as a hobby. · Signs you’re ready to quit your day job. · The impact of a writing career on your family and friends. · The unusual things people will ask you as an author. · And why writing for a living is the most amazing profession you’ll ever embark on! If you’re ready, or even just curious, about taking your writing to the next level and embarking on a full-time writing career, then this episode is for you!
