    THE MARGINS: What You Should and Shouldn't Pay for as an Author

    What exactly do you need to pay for as an author? In today's episode, Emilie and Christen dive into the question, of what you need to pay for as an author (whether indie or trad published!) and what you shouldn't pay for (or maybe, not pay as much for). Also, after you listen to this week's episode, be sure to come back to this post and tell us where your three doors lead (I promise it'll make sense after you listen to the episode!) Let's dive in!

    THE MARGINS: Don’t Let This Happen to Your Platform!

    What do you do when all the hard work of platform building goes down the drain because your social media has been hacked? Or the social media platform of choice is down? What happens when you have big, exciting, important news to share, but you can't because you've relied solely on your social media platform of choice and it's not working? In this episode, we get on a soapbox of how important it is to make sure that in your platform building, you don't leave out your newsletter!
