S11E1 - Sell: How to Decide to Market Your Writing

There are all kinds of four-letter words people consider to be bad. In writing, those four-letter words aren't the traditional ones most people think about when they hear the phrase. The four-letter words of writing are the difficult topics to consider, write about, or simply just to do. None of the words are bad, but can be frightening for new authors or authors unfamiliar with certain topics. They are all something that needs to be addressed, at least, and decisions made on how to use them to the author's advantage. Through June, this podcast will be breaking down those difficult words, such as edit, time, LGBT, and best.

Most writers fall in one of two categories: the hobbyist and the "I want to make money" writer. Some are hobbyists that eventually come to the decision to market a book.

It's now about how to sell, but how to make the decision to market a hobby.
