The Author Revolution® Podcast
Indie publishing is a lot, and most advice only covers half of it. The Author Revolution Podcast covers both halves: the practical systems (series planning, rapid release at a pace you can sustain, writing sprints, publishing and marketing) and the inner work that decides whether you follow through (money beliefs, your nervous system, energy).
I'm Carissa Andrews, an indie author with 30+ books since 2013. I'm not here to hype you or promise results. I'll tell you what I've tried, what held up, and why it works, so you can decide what fits your life.
New here? Good places to start: "3 Series Types: Which Do You Have?", "Is There Such a Thing as Sustainable Rapid Release?", "How Do We Avoid Rapid Release Burnout?", and "Have You Taken a Vow of Poverty?"
Courses and masterclasses are self-paced at authorrevolution.org.
If the show helps, a rating or review helps other authors find it.
