This is one of our favourite ever conversations! Emma Couette, six novels in the last five years. All while holding down a full time job.
We talk about how she juggles a 9-5 job with this sort of release schedule, doing her own promo, fighting for her novels, finding good people to give feedback, making difficult choices about how to allocate resources to creative projects, and much more!
We learned so much about the Indie publishing space and came away with heaps of things we want to action.
We reached out to Emma and asked her on the podcast because we are blown away by how she fights for her writing. How diligent she is. How much care she puts into her promotion and her social presence (@emmacouetteauthor).
