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 E13 - Inbox Influence: Why Every Author Needs an Email List (Like YESTERDAY!)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Think you can skip the email list and still build a real author career? I mean… you can also eat soup with a fork, but it’s going to be messy.
In this episode of From Writer to Author: The Podcast, we’re talking about the one asset too many authors ignore until it’s painfully obvious they shouldn’t have: an email list. Not “someday.” Not “after I publish.” Not “once I feel ready.” Now.
If you’ve ever wondered how authors find readers consistently (without begging social media for attention), how they stay connected between book releases, or how they build momentum that doesn’t disappear the moment an algorithm sneezes—this episode is for you.
You’ll hear why an email list is more than a marketing tool—it’s a foundation. It supports your launches, your long-term visibility, your reader relationships, and your ability to grow a sustainable author platform.
Whether you’re pre-published, mid-draft, launching soon, or already published but relying too heavily on luck and likes, this conversation will help you see email differently—and understand why waiting is costing you more than you think.
