Welcome to the archives of the Nonfiction Authors Podcast, a program I hosted when I was VP of the Nonfiction Authors Association between May 4, 2022 to Dec 13, 2023. I loved hosting these 30-minute sessions and I chose guest experts that could provide authors with actionable advice to help you write, finish, market, publish, promote, and profit from your books.
