Being HYBRID means
Having it All
Forging a career as a HYBRID Author is not committing to just one way of doing things. It’s writing in all formats, across genres, mixing writing styles, publishing all ways and getting comfortable promoting you and your books. By doing this you can expand your mind, your author reach, your hybrid author business and be secure in fulfilling your creative desires.
I’m Joanne Zara Ellen Morrell an author, writer, podcaster and busy mum of 2. I’ve been where you are now, spending precious hours writing books, continuously overloaded with emotional stress and overwhelmed by the endless writing advice out there. Watching from afar and in close proximity as fellow writers progress in their author careers and questioning: is it ever going to happen for me?
The good news is as a hybrid author, yes it can!
