003: Becoming a Successful Published Author and Writer ft. Oyinkan Braithwaite

Hi and welcome back to lolly's Secrets podcast!

On this episode, I interview Oyinkan Braithwaite who is a published author that has won many awards for her book "My Sister The Serial Killer".

Some of the key take aways from the show on being a successful writer are as follows:

1. Once you have an idea, just start writing
2. Dialogue helps with setting the tone for the mood in each scene
3. When starting a story, start with a short story or a novella instead of a novel
4. Try prompts when brainstorming. They help to trigger inspiration
5. Every Author needs a good agent. make sure to get one that is in sync with your genre
