EP736 - Richard John Allen on how to become an author - what challenges were faced
21 Apr 2025
In this episode of Chasing the Insights, I talk to author and grief and loss expert Richard John Allen. Richard talks to us about how to become an author - what challenges were faced. Richard John Allen was born in Liverpool, England, and has called North Carolina, USA, home since 2001. After losing his father to cancer in November 2020, Richard began writing as a way to cope with grief and explore the complexities of loss. His journey as an author has since led to the publication of five books, all available on Amazon—three of which have reached #1 in the Loss and Grief category. Richard continues to receive what he believes are signs from his late father, inspiring him to keep searching for answers about what happens after we lose someone we love. His writing blends personal experience with a heartfelt desire to understand life, death, and everything in between. Becoming a writer has been far from easy. Richard openly shares the challenges he's faced along the way, offering insight and encouragement for others looking to write their own stories—especially those shaped by grief. Born in Liverpool, England, I have lived in North Carolina USA since 2001. I lost my father to cancer in November 2020 and started writing about coping with loss and grief. I have now written 5 books, all available on Amazon. 3 have made Amazon #1 in Loss and Grief. I have and still receive signs from my dad, and will continue researching and writing, looking for answers about loss and what happens next. Becoming a writer has been challenging, with lots of challenges that I still try to navigate today.
