Hello, Protagonists!
My guest today on CREATIVE. INSPIRED. HAPPY is Katherine Center, New York Times Bestselling author and one of the reigning queens of hopeful, feel-good fiction. She’s also had two books adapted into hit movies on Netflix. Her latest novel, The Love Haters, is out now.
Today, we talk about:
finding inspiration which Katherine describes catching butterflies
discovering your place and mission in writing—a.k.a. what kind of author do you want to be?
maintaining a pace of publishing one book a year
Sample production timeline in traditional publishing
her trick for writing deep characters
balancing "normal life" as a mom with being a professional writer
what does long-term success look like for a novelist
and so much more.
