About The Author Revolution® Podcast

Indie publishing is a lot, and most advice only covers half of it. The Author Revolution Podcast covers both halves: the practical systems (series planning, rapid release at a pace you can sustain, writing sprints, publishing and marketing) and the inner work that decides whether you follow through (money beliefs, your nervous system, energy). I'm Carissa Andrews, an indie author with 30+ books since 2013. I'm not here to hype you or promise results. I'll tell you what I've tried, what held up, and why it works, so you can decide what fits your life. New here? Good places to start: "3 Series Types: Which Do You Have?", "Is There Such a Thing as Sustainable Rapid Release?", "How Do We Avoid Rapid Release Burnout?", and "Have You Taken a Vow of Poverty?" Courses and masterclasses are self-paced at authorrevolution.org. If the show helps, a rating or review helps other authors find it.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to evolve, to pivot, or to redefine success on your own terms… this one’s for you. This isn’t just a goodbye. It’s an invitation—for you to step fully into your ow...

   From Spooky Season to Sleigh Your Season: A Simple, AI-Backed Blueprint for Indie Authors

   Send us a text It’s skeletons-on-the-lawn season, but we’re talking holiday sales—because nothing is scarier than hitting December with “vibes + a coupon code.” In this episode, I break down why an AI-assisted plan is your unfair advantage this year and what actually goes into a calm, zero-chaos strategy you can stick to. (The step-by-step how happens live in my upcoming masterclass—details below.) You’ll learn: Why books are still the cozy, affordable gift (even when the economy is wonky AF)...

   End of an Era: Behind the Scenes at Author Revolution

   Send us a text This week, I’m getting vulnerable and taking you behind the scenes of a major pivot at Author Revolution. After years in constant creation mode—masterclasses, courses, memberships, podcasts—I’m pressing pause on “business as usual” to close out one era and make space for what’s next. I share how 2024–2025 became my phoenix year: the collapse, the lessons, the hermit/role-model season (hello, Manifesting Generator life), and the clarity that’s emerging as I realign with what Aut...
