Mourning a lost friend…podcast, that is

September 6, 2022 | Russell Stoll Comments Off on Mourning a lost friend…podcast, that is

The Six Figure Authors podcast closed up digital shop in late April. There wasn’t enough time to host the show and get on with the business of life for the three hosts: Lindsay Buroker, Joe Lallo and Andrea Pearson, all successful, mid-list fiction writers.

Thankfully, the archives are still available. If you’re an aspiring writer, listen to these episodes — they’re filled with down-to-earth advice on making a real living as a writer, and not just as some slave to Big Publishing.

Thanks for the wisdom, kind people.
