We had a lovely conversation with Wendy L. Anderson, who is an indie author of eight fantasy novels (so far!) and quite a few coming up!

She shared her author journey, which started in early ages but took a little while to get it going... nevertheless, just like any determined indie author, she started publishing one book after another.

Here is the timeline:

00:51:18 Introduction. 2:14:18 When did you start your author journey? 3:12:19 How many books and series do you have? 3:34:20 Just released a book today. 3:49:22 Where are your books published? 4:13:13 Is your latest book a standalone book? 4:35:15 Are you a fantasy author, or would you consider yourself any other type? 5:37:18 Do you think you’d have a problem with Disney with your latest release? 6:46:19 How long did your last book take to write? 7:34:10 My writing process. 9:26:19 Do you work with a developmental editor? 10:16:01 How long does it take for you to finish a book, including cover design, editing, etc? 14:39:13 Creating a spin off series from Kingdom of Jior Fantasy Series. 16:16:10 What formats do you publish your books? 17:31:07 Audiobooks. 20:26:03 Do you do plotting, planning, outlining, etc when you are writing your books? 24:52:24 I let my husband read my books to get his feedback because he is an engineer with analytic thinking. 26:21:05 How do you divide your day to work on different parts of self-publishing; writing, marketing, social media, etc? 30:22:01 Tell us about your book promotions, your campaigns? 33:54:23 What do you do to improve yourself? 36:53:18 Do you go back and revise your previously published books? 39:07:04 Wendy comes out with the secret for her covers. 42:29:11 What would be your “one recommendation” for the newly starting authors? 46:34:00 What did your family take it when you told them you wanted to become an author by then, and how do they like it now? 49:44:00 I would like to add that I just released a book today: Rapunzel’s Tower. Go buy it!
