About this Podcast:
What is a HYBRID Author you ask. It's not conforming to uniform in your writing and publishing endeavours. It's writing across genres, mixing writing styles, publishing all ways and getting comfortable pushing boundaries promoting you and your books. Join host Joanne Zara Ellen Morrell, author of young adult fiction, women's fiction and short non-fiction for authors for weekly episodes campaigning to encourage authors to have a hybrid author career — because life truly is too short to wait.
