Episode 071 / Do you want to cultivate a core readership who will read anything you write? Historical fantasy and historical mystery author C.J. Archer joins us this week to talk about how she’s nurtured a group of readers who will read anything she writes no matter what the genre it is. 

We also discuss how discipline and consistency have contributed to her success, overcoming shyness and developing self confidence, and the tactics C.J. uses as a wide author to market her books, including permafree books. 

We also talk about translations, the boom in audio, and why she shifted her YA marketing focus to adults. Plus hear which shows Jami and C.J. are streaming. 

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

Genres discussed include historical romance, historical fantasy, and historical mystery.
