SFFMP 93: Straddling Genres and Succeeding with Multiple Different Series with Rachel Aaron
Popular fantasy author Rachel Aaron joined us today to talk about succeeding with books that straddle genres, launching later books in a series, and turning your writing into a business, among other topics.
Here are a few more subjects that we touched on:
- The challenges of writing across genres and marketing books that don’t fit tidily into a category
- Rachel’s experiments with advertising and what has worked best
- Using a pre-order to increase sales of an entire series and how to build launch buzz over several weeks
- Some of the perks of being in Kindle Unlimited (Rachel explains why she believes KU readers are less likely to leave bad reviews)
- How audiobooks have become a significant source of income for Rachel
- The challenges of maintaining a high degree of productivity after this becomes a full-fledged business
