Becca Syme: Phases of an Author Business (prerecorded presentation)
No matter what your publishing path, author careers follow a consistent trajectory of growth. That trajectory has segments (or phases) that produce what's needed in order for the next phase to be successful. If you can understand the phase you're in, you can maximize your efforts to create the trajectory that will propel you forward.
You'll learn: the five phases and the catalysts out; the mindset needs for each phase; and the choice architecture you need to know how to say yes and no to things that will actually help you get where you need to go.
