Secrets Revealed on The Author’s Quill!

I was the first guest on UPRN Talk Radio’s program “The Author’s Quill” when it launched. They recently had me back with my publisher and Writers of the Future judge Mark Leslie Lefebvre to discuss my career and how my bestselling book HOW TO WRITE A HOWLING GOOD STORY has been doing one year since its release. It’s a fun interview I trust you’ll enjoy! 2,216,489 live listens!

Some highlights:

1. We discuss the value of niche publishers, especially a boutique publisher focused on your success like Mark Lefebvre’s Stark Publishing Solutions has done for me.

2. We share how a publisher’s signal can increase your signal substantially when you’re still building your network of fans–they already have signal, programming, and branding built in that you can tap into!

3. John Goodwin, president of Author Services, asked me to tell the story behind the creation of my Writers of the Future Vol. 35 winner “Super-Duper Moongirl and the Amazing Moon Dawdler.” If you haven’t heard the story behind the story yet, it is certain to inspire you to meet deadlines no matter how crunched for time you may be.

4. And finally, the program host Joe Montaldo makes some statements about how many writers I’ve helped achieve their Writers of the Future wins through the lessons taught in my Super Secrets Workshop and my Patreon group, The Wulf Pack Writers. Joe has interviewed every contest winner for the last five years, so he knows what he’s talking about. Joe said many kind things about the effectiveness of my Super Secrets Workshop and what I’ve done to help writers make it to that Hollywood stage and workshop week. That starts around the 1 hour 19 minute mark. 

Don’t miss this interview! In the Q&A at the end, you will find out what I believe is the #1 issue that holds writers back from getting published and winning prestigious contests like Writers of the Future. Getting past this common aspiring writer issue can change your destiny!

Cheers!

A NEW Super Secrets of Writing Article at DreamForge!

For years writers enjoyed my Super Secrets of Writing tips for free as I wrote them on a popular forum to help writers master the skills they needed to get published in respected publications. Guess what? You can still get them for free online, you just have to do a quick hop, skip, and a jump on over to DreamForge Magazine to read them. My latest leans into one of my favorite SF shows, Firefly. The title? “You Can’t Stop the Signal.”

Here’s editor Scot Noel’s comments:

In today’s publishing world, writing the book is only half the battle. Readers crave connection, and even traditional publishers expect authors to handle their own marketing, from social media to building a following. Inspired by moments like Mr. Universe’s iconic line in the movie Serenity, this article explains why you can’t ignore your signal—or fail to broadcast it. Learn how to craft your brand, connect with readers, and build a platform that ensures your voice is heard.
