How to Tackle Your Financial Life as an Author

WriterSpark: Business, Creativity, and the Craft of Writing

Episode 24

Finances for authors. It’s not the most appealing topic for people who spend their time with words…but wherever you are on your writing path, it’s never too early to start thinking about how to tackle your financial life as an author. Managing your expenses, especially in relation to current and/or future profits--or even just knowing what you are spending--is pretty important.

Honing in on what’s most worth spending money on is vital. With all of the resources out there, it’s easy to get sucked into the mire of endless blind spending. It’s important to evaluate what you actually need, based on where you are in your career.
