“When you have the creative fire burning inside you, sometimes you just don’t know what to do with it and it has to come out” ~ JP Cawood.
Self publishing can be a great way to get your ideas out there, but how do you even get started with a project as huge as this?
In this week’s interview, we talk to JP Cawood, author of Love From Mars - a romantic sci-fi/fantasy novel.
You’ll hear how she used her experience as a television developer to create the plot and characters in her book, and you’ll discover how to break a huge project down into manageable chunks to help you achieve your goals.
So, if you’ve got an idea that’s been floating around your head for some time, you’ll find plenty of effective ideas in this week’s interview to take the next steps...
