Ep 160: Ways to Rebrand Yourself as a Writer – Cold Turkey

Ways to Rebrand Yourself as a Writer: Cold Turkey (Episode 160: Ann Kroeker, Writing Coach)

My dad started smoking when he was a teenager and smoked like a chimney all the way through college and into adulthood.

Ep 156: In a World of Author Branding, What If You Want to Rebrand?

In a World of Author Branding, What If You Want to Rebrand (Ep 156: Ann Kroeker, Writing Coach)

The episode before that, we discussed setting aside a place to play online—perhaps on a social media platform—so you can let your hair down and play … [Read more...]

In a World of Author Branding, Be Consistent at Your Core (podcast episode 154: Ann Kroeker, Writing Coach)

Last time we talked about having a playground. A place to relax and try new things. A place where you can experiment and be a little messy until you figure out how you want to use that space. Consistent at Your Core At the same time, be consistent at your core. Not that you look exactly the same everywhere you go. I mean, that’s not even realistic. Think about it in … [Read more...]

Ep 153: In a World of Author Branding, Find a Place to Play

In a World of Author Branding, Find a Place to Play (Ep 153: Ann Kroeker, Writing Coach)

If you scroll through my Instagram feed, it won’t take long before you’ll see quotes on pictures, quotes with colored backgrounds, sourced images and my own snapshots all jumbled together.
