Episode 100
Released on: March 15, 2026
On this special final episode of the Self-Publishing Tips & Tricks podcast, the hosts come together one last time to reflect on the journey that began with a simple idea and grew into one hundred conversations about writing, publishing, and building an author career. Original co-host Morgan Lee returns to join the discussion as the group looks back on the lessons they have learned, the fears they once hadas new authors, and how their perspectives on publishing have evolved over the past several years. From experimenting with marketing strategies to discovering that every author must find their own path, this heartfelt conversation celebrates the growth, persistence, and community that shaped the show. While the podcast may be ending, the writing journeys that started here are far from over.

Released on: February 1, 2026
On this episode of the Self-Publishing Tips & Tricks podcast, we dive into Writing Deep Scenes by Martha Alderson and Jordan Rosenfeld.

Whether you're a planner or a discovery writer, this conversation sheds light on practical ways to sharpen your storytelling, diagnose weak scenes, and deepen emotional impact with intention. Tune in for a thoughtful discussion on crafting scenes that truly move the story forward.
