Hello! My name is Amy, aka CameoLover93, and I&#39;m an author who specializes in creating serialized fiction.  I made this podcast to help writers that are struggling to break onto the online writing scene and may be held back by questions like: what apps should I upload my work to, how can I monetize my content, how do I build a fanbase from zero? And so on.  Having written online and experimented with various writing apps since 2012, I have learned a few things about what to do, what not to do, who to trust, and who to avoid.  And it&#39;ll all be talked about in this podcast.

Welcome To My Podcast!

A Podcast For Writers

Hello! My name is Amy, aka CameoLover93, and I'm an author who specializes in creating serialized fiction. 

I made this podcast to help writers that are struggling to break onto the online writing scene and may be held back by questions like: what apps should I upload my work to, how can I monetize my content, how do I build a fanbase from zero? And so on. 

Having written online and experimented with various writing apps since 2012, I have learned a few things about what to do, what not to do, who to trust, and who to avoid. 

And it'll all be talked about in this podcast.
