Debra Clopton: Writing When Life Throws You a Curveball

Episode 076 / Contemporary romance author Debra Clopton joins us this week to talk about how she came through a health scare and how her business was set up to run without her. Deb’s story is inspiring (get the tissues ready!) and also gives practical ways to set up business systems for author-preneurs.  

We also discuss the importance of preserving your voice in edits, how Debra used paid newsletters to launch a successful indie career, and writing in the Clean and Wholesome subcategory. 

Come over and say hi to Jami and Sara in the WIKT Facebook group! You can find show notes and links at wishidknownforwriters.com.
