Lucy Score on Building a Backlist with Series as well as Standalones

Episode 060 / Romance author Lucy Score joined us to talk about how staying in her lane and creating a backlist of titles, all with a similar tone, has contributed to her success. Our conversion ranges from craft to setting boundaries to how Lucy works with her publishing team.

Jami’s novella launched last week, and Sara locked up her computer trying to install an update.

Come over and say hi to Jami and Sara in the WIKT Facebook group! You can find show notes and links at wishidknownforwriters.com.

In this podcast episode, you’ll discover:

• Why every detail in a book is a way to deepen character
• How Lucy uses series as well as standalone novels to build her readership
• How she transitions new readers into her back catalog
• Her assumption that writing would get easier and how that was wrong (we all have a good laugh about that one!)
• How she nurtures a positive atmosphere in her reader group
• Lucy also breaks down her publishing team and their roles
• How Lucy uses exercise, meditation, and boundaries to help her handle stress
