How do you get started as a writer while juggling the responsibilities of motherhood and mortgages?

According to Jill Robinson, it's all about small steps and letting yourself get scared.

A couple years ago, Jill pivoted from her 20 plus years in speech pathology into a career in professional writing and hasn't looked back.

Since making that decision, she has begun earning an income through publishing stories in Kindle Vella, Chicken Soup for the Soul and other publications.

In this episode she shares how she is building a thriving author life, including tips on leveraging Kindle Vella as an early career author.
