Hello Storytelling Heroes!
First, I’m speaking tomorrow at the AuthorTube Writing Conference all about the 5 Reader Secrets to Transform Your Author Life. I’ll be going live at noon ET tomorrow.
Now, welcome to another episode of the Beyond the Book Podcast, where we help authors turn their stories into empires.
Today we have a very exciting episode with author Nat Eliason, the author of the science fiction novel Husk (you can read it here) and Crypto Confidential (you can read here).
In this episode, we discover how Nat was able to sell $5,000 in pre-orders of his debut science fiction novel as well as how he uses AI to help him revise his stories as the ultimate beta reader, his recommended books for writers to improve their craft, and so much more.
Nat also co-hosts a podcast for aspiring writers and authors called Between Drafts. You can give it a listen here!
