From Writer to Author: The Podcast
Got a story burning inside you—but no clue where to start (or how to finish)? Or maybe you’ve already published but want to grow your reach, your readers, and your confidence as an author?
Welcome to From Writer to Author: The Podcast, where we get real about what it takes to become a successful author. Hosted by Veronica G.—Amazon bestselling author of ten books (including two international bestsellers), book editor, formatter, and coach—this show is your weekly roadmap to writing better, publishing smarter, and building a thriving author business that lasts.
Drawing on nearly two decades of experience working with powerhouse brands like Tony Robbins and T. Harv Eker, Veronica brings a mix of creative strategy, tough love, and real-world know-how to every episode.
Each week, you’ll get practical advice, honest conversations, and behind-the-scenes insights into every part of the writing and publishing process—from finding your voice and finishing your manuscript to mastering self-publishing, launching your book, and marketing it like a pro.
Whether you’re staring at a blank page or celebrating your tenth book, you’ll find inspiration, motivation, and actionable steps to turn your writing dream into your author reality.
It’s time to stop just calling yourself a writer—and start owning your place as an author.

S1 E12 - Overcoming Fear of Judgment, Criticism, or (Worse) Being Ignored as a Writer
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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 from sharing your words, pitching your book idea, hitting “publish,” or even finishing the draft because you’re worried what people will think—or that no one will think anything at all—this episode is for you.
You’ll walk away with a steadier mindset, practical ways to keep moving forward anyway, and the confidence to stay in the work… because becoming an author requires courage, not perfection.
