Making six figures a year while publishing one book a year, isn’t the usual career path for most indies, but for our guest today, it absolutely is! We are thrilled to welcome Aus-Kiwi, Helen Scheuerer, to the SPA today.
Helen is a talented YA Fantasy author who’s taken her traditional publishing education and transferred that to a highly successful indie career over the past four years.
We discuss how Helen got into writing, her education and specifically what led her to self-publishing. Then we cover in detail her launch strategies and approach to successful publishing with an “outside the norm” annual release schedule.
This is a great episode full of tips and inspiration from Helen, especially for listeners who cannot release multiple books in a year. Enjoy!
About Helen Scheuerer
Helen Scheuerer is the author of the bestselling YA fantasy trilogy, The Oremere Chronicles: Heart of Mist (2017), Reign of Mist (2018) and War of Mist (2019), as well as the prequel short story collection, Dawn of Mist (2020). The series has been highly praised for its strong, flawed female characters and its action-packed plots. It has often been likened to Sarah J Maas’ Throne of Glass series, and the epic #girlpower film, Wonderwoman.

Wow!Lots of great tips. Very uplifting. I needed this. LoL. Put my second book up and got a one-star on Good reads with no reason why. sigh. At least a one-star with the reasoning behind it is worthwhile. Oh well starting book 3. Thanks for encouraging me and other writers. I love your accents. Snowed like heck Thursday. The first day of Spring 39 degrees Fahrenheit whoopie. I did see a jonquil poking its head out of the snow.
