Oh, how the world of fiction publishing has changed! What used to be Mom’s tea party (with agents and traditional book contracts and demure, knees-together seating) has become a wild house-party of bold self-publishing, mystical Amazon algorithms, seat-of-the-pants marketing and promotions. Experienced romance novelist and book coach Meredith Bond walks Pru Warren, her wide-eyed and unpublished co-host, through the real life of an author from the craft of writing and editing, through publishing and marketing, and finally into building a GLOBAL PUBLISHING EMPIRE! Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and get ready to start your weekend with the Writer's Block Party Podcast. Tune in every Friday.

If you think world-building is only for sci-fi, listen up! The subtlety of world-building may be why your book feels flat or overly factual. If you want a slippery book that people just fall into, then consider the concept of world-building (in the wine world, it’s called “terroir”—the flavor of the earth). Merry and Pru wander through this topic, from JRR Tolkien to yesterday’s blog post. There’s a lot to consider here!
