    Self-Publishing Marketing: Strategy, Chaos & Crossing Our Fingers

    This week on Authors Off Script, we're tackling one of the least glamorous—but most important—parts of being a self-published author: marketing. We're sharing how we approach promoting our books, organizing launches, showing up online, and balancing strategy with creativity. Spoiler alert: despite our best intentions, there's also a fair amount of winging it involved. Because the truth is, most indie authors are figuring things out as they go. And, because this is Authors Off Script, we inevitably get distracted, go on several tangents, and end up discussing things that have absolutely nothing to do with marketing.

    Getting Older, Getting Wiser (Hopefully): Elena's Birthday Episode

    This week on Authors Off Script, we're celebrating Elena's birthday! 🥳 Birthdays have a funny way of making you pause and reflect, so in this episode we're talking about what it means to be a writer in your 30s, how our perspectives on creativity and success have changed over the years, and the lessons we're still learning along the way. We dive into the pressure of milestones, the feeling of being "behind," and the comparison trap that so many writers fall into—especially in the age of social media. Find us on IG @elenalocatelli_ and @letiziafirmani.

    From Manuscript Edits to Sagre Season

    This week on Authors Off Script, we actually start with something productive: a check-in on where we are in our writing and editing processes.We talk about what we’re currently working on, how the drafting/editing brain space is treating us, and the very real emotional rollercoaster of trying to finish books while also being alive in the world.And then, as per tradition… we immediately go off script.Somewhere between editing updates and creative accountability, we find ourselves deep in a conversation about Italian village fairs (sagre di paese) and roasted chestnuts.

    We Cast Our Books (And Got Way Too Invested)

    This week on Authors Off Script, we're doing what every author swears they won't do and then absolutely does anyway: fancasting our books. We're talking about the actors, models, musicians, and fictional characters who inspired our protagonists, the faces we see while writing, and the impossible challenge of finding someone who perfectly matches the version of a character that exists only in our heads. Expect passionate debates, questionable celebrity crushes, and a lot of "no, but you have to see the vision." Whether you're an author building character boards or a reader who immediately starts casting a movie adaptation while reading, this episode is for you. Come join us as we bring our fictional worlds to life—one wildly unrealistic casting choice at a time. You can meet Elena & Letizia on IG.

    Are Authors Allowed to Want Money?

    This week on Authors Off Script, we’re talking about “cash grabs,” authors making money from their work, returning to successful universes, and the strange guilt that seems to follow writers the second they admit they’d actually like their books to pay their bills. Because apparently authors are expected to create art purely for love… while also surviving capitalism. We also spiral a little about author spaces, publishing culture.

    The AI Conversation Creative Spaces Need to Have

    This week on Authors Off Script, we’re exploring one of the messiest conversations happening in creative spaces right now: AI. As authors, creatives, and people whose entire careers revolve around storytelling and imagination, we talk about our thoughts on the rise of AI tools in publishing and creative industries, where we think the line is, and why this conversation feels so emotionally charged for artists.

    Genre hopping & Twilight Drama

    In this episode of Authors Off Script, we dive into why we genre hop. We also accidentally expose our age by discussing formative fictional men, the cultural impact of Twilight, and whether being Team Edward or Team Jacob permanently altered our brain chemistry as writers. Expect conversations about: why romance is the common thread in everything we writethe freedom (and chaos) of genre hoppingwriting different vibes without losing your author identityparanormal crushes we should probably unpack in therapyand the very specific millennial experience of growing up online with vampire discourseBasically: if your TBR has both shadow daddies and hockey players on it, welcome home. You can find Elena on IG @elenalocatelli_ and Letizia @letiziafirmani.

    Who we are & why we can't shut up about writing

    Welcome to the very first episode of Authors Off Script—aka the moment we hit record and decided to let you into the group chat. In this episode, we’re keeping it simple (well… as simple as we can). We’re introducing ourselves—who we are, what we write, how we ended up becoming authors abroad, and the slightly chaotic paths that led us here. If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book, are currently in your drafting era, or just want to hear two romance authors overshare about their lives… you’re in the right place. This is 50% writing, 50% chaos, and 100% off script.
