Episodes
In this episode of From Writer to Author: The Podcast with Veronica G, we’re addressing a challenge that quietly holds many authors back:
You love what you wrote… but readers aren’t responding the way you expected.
Maybe your book isn’t selling consistently.
Maybe your marketing feels scattered.
Maybe you’re unsure how to describe your book in a way that makes people instantly interested.
It can feel confusing—espec...
Your book might be brilliant. Your writing might be strong. Your message might matter deeply.
But if your cover isn’t doing its job… readers may never get far enough to find that out.
In this episode of From Writer to Author: The Podcast, we’re diving into what every author needs to understand about book covers before publishing. Not the trendy advice. Not the “make it pretty” advice. The real, strategic role your cover pl...
Deadlines are supposed to help you finish your book… so why do they so often leave you exhausted, stressed, and creatively blocked?
If you’ve ever set a writing or publishing deadline with the best intentions—only to fall behind, feel guilty, or wonder if deadlines just “don’t work” for you—this episode is for you.
In Episode 15: Setting Realistic Deadlines Without Killing Your Creativity, Veronica breaks down why deadline...
Finishing one book often creates a new kind of pressure: What comes next?
Many authors reach the end of a manuscript—or even publish their first book—only to feel uncertain, scattered, or overwhelmed by the future. Should you start another book right away? Build a series? Switch genres? Focus on marketing? Or pause and regroup?
In this episode, we’re stepping back to look at the bigger picture.

Think you can skip the email list and still build a real author career? I mean… you can also eat soup with a fork, but it’s going to be messy.
In this episode of From Writer to Author: The Podcast, we’re talking about the one asset too many authors ignore until it’s painfully obvious they shouldn’t have: an email list. Not “someday.” Not “after I publish.” Not “once I feel ready.” Now.
If you’ve ever wondered how authors f...
Ever notice how the moment you decide to take your writing seriously, your brain immediately auditions a panel of imaginary critics?
In this episode of From Writer to Author: The Podcast, we’re talking about one of the biggest momentum-killers for writers: the three-headed monster—fear of judgment, fear of criticism, and (the one that stings in a very specific way) the fear of being ignored.
If you’ve been holding back fro...
If you’ve ever thought your writing habits were a little strange… this episode is about to make you feel much better.

Every writer—no matter how new, experienced, talented, or successful—has questioned whether they truly belong in the writing world. Maybe you’ve felt it, too: that quiet worry that you’re not “qualified” enough, not “skilled” enough, or not “legit” enough to call yourself a writer. It’s that uncomfortable inner voice that whispers, “Who do you think you are?”
In this episode of From Writer to Author, we’re opening up a gr...
Every writer carries private fears—quiet thoughts that linger in the background but rarely get voiced. In this episode of From Writer to Author, we’re taking an honest, reassuring look at the unspoken worries so many writers experience but often keep to themselves.

We’ll talk about why your brain resists writing even when you’re excited about your book, how ...
Feeling stuck? Frozen? Avoiding your keyboard like it’s personally offended you? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re taking a deep, compassionate look at writer’s block—what it actually is, why it shows up, and why it has so much less to do with your writing ability than you think.
Writer’s block gets treated like this big, dramatic creative failure, but in reality, it’s almost never about the writing itself. It’s ab...
Struggling to find the time—or the motivation—to write consistently? You’re not alone.
In this episode, I share practical strategies for building a writing routine that fits your life, your energy, and your goals. From carving out focused writing time to staying consistent when motivation dips, we’ll tackle the real-world challenges every writer faces.
Plus, I reveal simple tweaks that helped me stick to my own routine ...
Are you stuck in the endless cycle of rewriting, editing, and “just one more tweak”? Perfectionism might be quietly sabotaging your book—and your confidence as a writer.
In this episode, I dig into why chasing perfection can keep your manuscript from ever seeing the light of day and how to break free from that trap. I also share my own ah-ha moment—the one that finally helped me let go, trust my work, and start moving fo...
Every author dreams of their first book being a smashing success… but what happens when it’s more of a tumbleweed moment on Amazon?

So, you want to write a book? That’s amazing — but before you crack open that fresh notebook or start pounding the keyboard, let’s have a real talk about what that actually means.
In this episode, Veronica breaks down the truth about what it really takes to go from “I have an idea” to “I’m holding my book in my hands.” She dives into the mindset, the commitment, and the sneaky little challenges that most new authors never...
You want to write a book — but which book? Should you follow your passion, chase the market, or try to do both without losing your mind (or your message)?
In this episode, Veronica unpacks how to find the book idea that not only feels aligned with who you are, but also has real potential to sell. She shares her favorite exercises for uncovering ideas that excite you and your readers, explains the difference between a “goo...
