Indie Authors: It's Time to Aspire for More
Send us a textNow that all of the 2023 writers' conferences I planned on attending are over, there's a bit of melancholy setting in. To shake it off, I've been revisiting the speeches I gave and all of the experiences I've gone through. It occurred to me that since the Idaho Writers Guild Conference wasn't recorded, my first speech at that conference might be the perfect thing to lift us all up. In today's podcast episode, I'm sharing my Aspire For More speech I gave at the Idaho Writer's Guild Conference in May 2023. Because this conference wasn't recorded, I wanted another way for this message to reach our indie author community.
