SPA Girls Podcast – EP148 – Interview with Indie Superstar Bella Andre

Today’s interview is a must-listen interview with… Indie Superstar Bella Andre!

We were super excited to be able to chat to Bella, who it turns out is the most lovely, down-to-earth person we’ve interviewed so far, plus being super inspirational. She was in New Zealand for the Romance Writers of New Zealand conference, and we were able to kidnap and interview her about self-publishing, how she made it as an Indie, and her advice for people aiming to follow in her footsteps…

We had such a great time chatting to her, that we tried to adopt her and convince her to move to New Zealand, but she was a little resistant to the idea… 🙂
