Share your experience. Help writers build better businesses.

The Writing Biz podcast is looking for authors, publishing professionals, marketers, platform builders, editors, coaches, designers, and other experts who can offer practical advice and honest conversation for writers.

Our audience consists of writers who want to move beyond hobby-level results. They are building platforms, publishing books, launching services, and creating long-term income streams.

We welcome guests who can speak confidently on topics such as:

  • Publishing (traditional, hybrid, independent)
  • Author marketing and branding
  • Email marketing and audience growth
  • Sales funnels and monetization
  • Website strategy and platform building
  • Book launches and product development
  • Creative entrepreneurship
  • Productivity and business systems
  • Industry trends and publishing shifts

If you provide actionable value — not vague theory — you’re a great fit.

Who can be a guest on The Writing Biz Podcast?

Authors, publishing professionals, marketers, editors, coaches, designers, copywriters, and platform builders are all a good fit. What matters most is practical advice. If you can speak to publishing, author marketing, email lists, monetization, websites, book launches, or productivity with real examples, we'd love to hear from you.

What is recording an episode like?

It's a friendly, conversational interview recorded remotely, audio only, and usually 30 to 60 minutes long. You'll get prep materials ahead of time, and scheduling works around you. Just find a quiet room, make sure your audio is clear, and wear headphones if you can.
