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 Experienced romance novelist and book coach Meredith Bond walks Pru Warren, her wide-eyed and unpublished co-host, through the real life of an author from the craft of writing and editing, through publishing and marketing, and finally into building a GLOBAL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.

Talking Tropes

Far from being “cheats” or ways to ride the coattails of other writers, the trope (and especially the romance trope) is the skeleton on which you build your glorious story. Merry walks Pru through tropes and smiles when Pru has the “EUREKA!” moment of realizing that the trope is also a hugely-valuable marketing tool. Ignorance is banished today!
