The Confident Fiction Author
Hey there my fellow author, I’m Sarah Elisabeth Sawyer, an old soul kind of writer living my dream as a full-time author and authorprenuer.
But I didn’t start out living a confident creative lifestyle. I struggled with the fears and the mental and emotional barriers that so often plague writers at all stages of their author career.
But the truth is that, with the right knowledge, tools, and training, you can overcome those barriers. I’m here to teach you how I’ve developed a lifestyle that’s allowed me to publish 19 books (and counting).
Each week as you tune into the Confident Fiction Author podcast, you’ll get clarity on the steps you need to take to advance your writing career. Whether it’s developing your ideal writing routine, tackling new skills like dictating your fiction, or overcoming the obstacles life throws your way, this podcast will help you live a more confident, creative lifestyle.

#33: From the Vault - The 5-Minute Fiction Habit
In 2024, I developed a habit I'm still using called "5-minute fiction." I did a podcast episode on this powerful writing hack, and I'm bringing it back for you this week.
My "5-Minute Fiction: New Habit for the New Year" (episode #10) is my most downloaded episode, and for good reason. This little hack is helping authors around the world write more consistently, and it's helping authors take their first steps in dictating their fiction.
So for this episode, I recorded a new introduction to include a special announcement to share with you...
The 5-Minute Fiction Club!
What's inside this club that I created over at fictioncourses.substack.com?
The 5-Minute Fiction Club is a place for you to take first steps in dictating your fiction. It includes:
5-Minute Dictation Training Videos
You’ll get quick start videos where you’ll learn the methods and tools of dictation so you can start TODAY.
Climb to the Top
The 5 achievement levels in this club are waiting for you to conquer. But you won’t be climbing alone! Join your fellow fiction authors on an epic adventure by sharing your achievements every week. Whether you’re starting as a “Walker” or a “Hiker,” work your way through the “Backpacker,” “TrailBlazer,” and “Summit Seeker” levels together.
