How many of us have dreamed of ditching our 9 to 5 job to become a full-time writer? In 2020, Jody Leber-Pay quit her job in financial services to write books. Under the pen name, Bradley Pay, Jody has written two novels so far in The Spectrum Series with her co-author Robin Bradley.
Jody shares how she prepared to make her career switch, the pros and cons of being a self-published author, and how she handles both the creative and business sides of her new career. She also offers advice if you're thinking about becoming a full-time writer.
