Just Following Up with Katie Alyx, Author
In this episode of Just Following Up...Again, we sit down with Katie Alyx, a dark romance author whose path to publishing was anything but conventional. Legally blind due to Retinitis Pigmentosa, Katie didn't let an unfinished-manuscript habit or an unconventional view of the world stop her from finishing her first book.
But this conversation isn't just about the books. It's about the business behind them. As a self-published author, Katie has had to become her own marketing department, and she joins us to break down exactly how she's done it: building an author brand from scratch, finding and growing a readership, and turning personal story into promotional power. Whether you're an indie author trying to get your book in front of readers or a marketer curious about how creators build loyal audiences without a traditional publishing budget, this episode is packed with practical takeaways on visibility, authenticity, and getting your work noticed in a noisy market.
