132: Amanda Schiller- Author of Wicked Games and Wasted Years, Part I

Amanda talks about the book that gave her permission to write “outside the lines”, what she learned about her own life through exploring the narcissistic antagonist in her novel, and the process of identifying where her book fit on the genre shelf. She also takes us step by step through her process of learning, through podcasts and YouTube videos, how to create her own book on Vellum and launch it into the world, and her eventual decision to pull it back and do a total rebranding with a new cover and the addition of a Part 2.
