January 09, 2019 07:32 - 44 minutes - 25.5 MBGoals! We're all so excited about them at the beginning of January, and then we feel them like chains around our necks by the end of the month. (Well, here in the SPA we do. Maybe you're able to make it into February without feeling like you're never going to make them work...hehe) What we've decided is that instead of overwhelming yourself with ALL THE GOALS, if you set one goal in these five areas, for a shorter period of time (we're suggesting 12 weeks) then you're more likely to make the...

December 12, 2018 01:20 - 39 minutes - 22.9 MBLove or hate it, dialogue is an essential element to fiction writing. Done well, dialogue can be very powerful. We know and understand the subtext of dialogue without having to be told, and writers can use this to create amazing scenes and tense moments. Done badly, however, dialogue can kick your readers out of the scene, make them frustrated and ultimately stop reading. So how do you make sure your dialogue sings instead of stinks? Easy peasy! Just listen to this episode... :) Today in ...

SPA Girls Podcast – EP162 – How To Launch Like A Pro
November 21, 2018 08:41 - 47 minutes - 65.5 MBIn response to a few recent questions we've been asked on this topic, we decided to talk through the basics of launch strategies for first-time or early career authors, or for authors starting off a new series or pen name. It's sometimes difficult to know what you should do when you're launching a new book. We all want to make sure our book babies do as well as they possibly can when we launch, but there's also a whole lot of often contradictory advice out there on the best way to do it. ...

November 07, 2018 23:44 - 51 minutes - 29.7 MBIt's one of the big questions in the Indie author space, and hotly debated by many on either side. This week we talk about the pros and cons of going wide on all publishing platforms versus going exclusive to Amazon.

So the SPA Girls sat down and worked through what it means to go wide on all the publishing platforms, what you'll get from it that you won't get i...
SPA Girls Podcast – EP159 – Interview With Kathryn Le Veque
October 31, 2018 04:34 - 47 minutes - 41.7 MBThis is a powerhouse episode! Be warned - it'll inspire you SO much to knuckle down and get to work, you may not come up for air for days!

October 24, 2018 04:32 - 45 minutes - 26.1 MBThis week we put on our flame retardant suits and discuss how to define the heat level of your story – and why it’s important to know. There is no standard or uniform code to heat levels, so writers and readers can face a few challenges: what one reader may consider “hot,” another might consider “mild” or vice versa. With books there’s no certified ratings system a la the movies. And to further complicate things, if you’re looking at the hybrid route, publishers and agents also have differe...

October 09, 2018 05:53 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MBThis week Wendy, Cheryl and Shar talk about “the Kindness Factor” – how we can achieve more but put less pressure on ourselves. Impossible you say? As we push ourselves to write more, to learn more and to get up to grips with this self-publishing world, there's often an unwanted side effect: a lot of us are really hard on ourselves and we're not enjoying our writer's life. Research shows that the happier you are, the more productive you are, so with that in mind we have our SPA Girls Top Fiv...
SPA Girls Podcast – EP155 – Self Editing for Authors
October 02, 2018 07:50 - 52 minutes - 30 MBThis week we talk about self editing, and how to get your manuscript to the highest possible standard before sending it to your professional editor. Everyone will have a different style, focus and ideas on the best way to do self editing, and it's the kind of thing that's different for different people. No one does it the same, and that's okay. But as always, we give a load of tips and advice on how we do it, what works and what doesn't, and why we do things the way we do it.

We've all said that none of us would be as far along in our careers if we didn't have the other SPA Girls. And we don't think we're unique. There are thousands of other groups of writers who are help...
