Education
In this podcast, we tend to focus on the craft of writing: handling character, setting, theme, and so on. But there’s another side to writing, the business side. We acknowledge it but don’t talk about it a lot on this podcast, mostly because, to be perfectly honest, I’m not very good at it. I make very little money doing this. I have a day job for a reason. I am terrible at the self-promotion writing hustle. And I think it would be irresponsible and dishonest of me to offer advice at something I am genuinely terrible at. But the grindset is real and inescapable if you ever plan to write for money, and it’s foolish to ignore it, so here to talk about it in this episode is horror author Kyle Winkler.
