What’s the one objection you have to overcome to get readers to buy your book?
That question is the cliffhanger that Larissa Reynolds left us on in part 1. And now, here it is! The episode where you get to find out the answer…
In this second episode about newsletters, Larissa Reynolds talks to us about how to sell your books consistently via your list.
She’s been writing newsletters for more than 20 years, and says it’s about more than just sending regular emails. It’s about knowing your readers, and making sure you’re approaching them in the right way.
She talks to us about how to get the right mindset with regards to your newsletter, how to focus the newsletter in the right direction, and how to ensure you’re connecting with your readers so they want to go out and buy your books.

SPA Girls Podcast – EP201 – How To Avoid Saggy Middles

Subscribe: RSS
We’ve all had experience with saggy middles… (And no, we’re not talking about our stomachs…)
Have you ever gotten to the middle of your manuscript and wondered what on earth you’re doing? Do you end up cleaning the whole house instead of getting back to your daily word count? Does it feel like you’re typing through concrete, and you couldn’t concentrate on getting more words down for the life of you?
This is the episode for you!
We talk about the middle of our books, what they should have in them, and how you can get over that terrible saggy story that sometimes emerges in the middle. We talk about getting over your blocks, fixing what might be wrong, and how to set yourself up for success.
This episode is all about how to survive when you’ve moved past the exciting beginning, and are still miles from that thrilling ending…
